How to DM in a Public Place | Tips for Public Dungeon Mastering with Andrew Ashby from We Geek Together

Have you ever wanted to go to that cool game store down the road and play a fun game of D&D but are maybe somewhat shy and nervous about being a DM in a public place?

Wouldn’t you like the ability to DM in any place at any time?

Today we are going to walk you through some tips on how to manage yourself in those public places and how to make sure it’s fun for you and your players every single time!

This is How to Be a Better DM. Today, Justin, Tanner and Cayden sit down with Tavern Keeper Andrew Ashby from https://www.wegeektogether.org/.

Here’s what we talked about:

  • Always make sure everyone at the table is having fun and feels safe
  • If your party is shy about being in public, make something exciting happen to get them out of their own heads
  • Talk to the owners of game stores to find out what tools they have for you
  • Find the locale that fits what you need
  • Find ways to mitigate distractions even while out in public
  • The best thing to do is to commit to doing the DM thing and everything else will be much better.
