11 More Things Every Dungeon Master Should Remember Part 1

How to Be a Better DM: Dungeon Master Tips for the DM Newbie, the Hobbyist and the Forever DM

Things Every Dungeon Master Should Remember

As a Dungeon Master you have so much to remember, it’s a wonder you can even remember your own name. Yet, what if, by remembering a few more things, you were able to not only make your game better, but feel better yourself, and make everything you do as a Dungeon Master better?

I know what it’s like to deal with all the disappointment of a dungeon master. You deal with so much and rarely get thanked for it. Yet that’s ok, because you didn’t get into this game to be thanked. You got into the game to be the best Dungeon Mater you could ever be.

To become the best, here are 11 things that you need to remember.

Welcome back to How to Be a Better DM. This is the show for the Dungeon Master who has other things going on in their life and doesn’t have any extra time to work on their craft. We’ve been crafting episodes just for you for the last 3 years or so, and today are bringing you another personally crafted episode to help you amplify your dungeon master skills.

This will be part 1 of this episode with part 2 coming out tomorrow.

Today I'm going to continue on a topic that hearkens back to episode 2!

Here are 11 things every dungeon master should remember.

You Don’t Have to Be Completely Original

Show Don’t Tell

Make It Corny Until It’s Not

It’s Just a Game

Be In the Moment

Your Best Is Yet to Come

It’s Not the Accent but the Actor
