Welcome back to the Dungeon Master's block, the place where we come to talk about the Dungeon master, the most important person in the game, the only person capable of playing God, killing

characters, and lowering the ego of all other people at the table.

I'm your host, DM John, and we have a very special guest on with us today.

Adam Carnivalet, DM for Sanspans Radio's D&D for Nerds podcast.

Today we're going to be talking about urban campaigns. But before we get started, I've got a

couple of shoutouts. I've got two five-star reviews. The first one is by Himyushin, and it reads, inspirational stuff. Finally, getting around to

doing the review rounds on the 50-some podcasts I listen to, but this one is really a diamond in the

rough. The hosts of the DMs block always have great guests and cover great topics that help me

think about fantastic storytelling

opportunities in my games. I'll be lucky to implement half of the stuff they've inspired me

to feverishly jot down in a notebook while I'm at work. Check them out if you're at all interested

in some solid DMing advice. All right, our next five-star review comes to us from

Be Born Bitter and it's entitled what I didn't know I needed. How did I find myself here?

I have never played D&D or any RPG. My only experience was looking through what I guess was

a monster manual when I was in elementary school over 25 years ago.

This should not be my most anticipated podcast, but it is.

Every week, the DM's block sends my imagination off in fantastic directions, while driving or at work.

I've created amazing characters and gone on countless quests all in my mind.

Thanks for helping me lift those mental weights.

My mental muscles are absolutely shredded, like all sinewy with cool mental veins all over them.

Oh yeah.

Thanks, Beborn Bitter.
