“The TPK. It happens. Not as often as it used to but it is still a thing. It can be crushing to the players and DMs alike. The players have spent time navigating the campaign you carefully prepared for them only to have all that hard work and enjoyment stripped from them. DMs, you’ve spent so much time and energy writing and running the campaign. The defeat is real for you as well. So how does one handle the dreaded TPK?”

“Cheating at the table. This is a topic I’m torn about. On one hand, I can’t help but think it’s time to let the player go. On the other hand, I think, well, you’re ruining the fun for yourself. It’s the fails, and tension in those fails that are among the most memorable moments. These creative approaches are assuming you have already identified that the behavior is actually cheating and not a situation where the player is not familiar with the rules, your house rules, and has not brought some bad habits from another table.”

GAME DESIGNER BRAD YOUNIE STOPS BY THE DOJO
I met Brad Younie at Carnage CON last November and sat at one of his games. We played his:” The Unexplained” game system and I had a blast. I instantly knew I had to invite him on the podcast to talk more about his games, running games at CONs, and his future products!

About Author
Brad Younie writes books mostly about magic in the real world because he thinks people need a little excitement in their lives. Being an eternal teenager in a man’s body, he owns a collection of swords, wands, and spends way too much time studying these things. A man with many hobbies, he plays guitar, reads books, watches movies, and fences with lightsabers and swords that are a bit sharper. But most of all, he weaves tales of magic and mystery that chill to the bone as it makes the heart race.

Let’s talk about storytelling, it’s the foundation of every good DM. You probably listen to and/or watch the variety of DM’s inaction and thought to yourself, wow what a complex and engaging story that they and their players tell together. And it’s true, there are some DMs out there that really tell a fantastic story. There’s no reason why that can’t be you.

Dungeons and Dragons had their origins in wargaming. It was a supplement to the chain mail rules and not a stand-alone game so it makes sense to include some rules for mass combat. Back in the day, we had “The Battle System”, a D&D supplement that gave us rules for mass combat. Today, we have Unearthed Arcana’s version of that system.
Links to the UA Mass Combat are listed below

The Dungeon Master's Dojo "The DMD"
"Your rolls must be light and true, as though your table were upon the back of a sleeping dragon. It is said, a Dungeon Master can breathe life into a universe. Assailed...they cannot be bested. Fierce...yet they are merciful. Of one voice... though speaks as many. This paper is the test. Empty as the beginning of time, fragile as the wings of the Faerie. When you can walk its empty path and leave behind a world. You will be ready.
