What D&D 5e Gets Wrong About Blacksmiths – Wasatch Forge Interview with a Blacksmith

Dungeons and Dragons 5e gets a lot wrong about Blacksmiths. There is almost no realism. Pretty strong statements right?

But that’s exactly what we dive into in our conversation today with Matt and Stan from Wasatch Forge, a local blacksmith school here in Salt Lake City Utah. Visit https://www.wasatchforge.com/ for more information.

Welcome back to How to Be a Better DM.

Today is the first part of our interview with Wasatch Forge. Come back on Saturday for Part 2.

We talk about a few things today, not the least of which being:

• How can you incorporate blacksmiths into D&D in a realistic way?
• What are some pet peeves about blacksmiths in D&D
• What do most DMs get wrong about Blacksmiths

Overall it was a very fun conversation.
