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 egos of all other people at the table.

I'm one of your host, DM Mitch.

And I'm your other host, DM Neal, aka Jop Maniac.

And today we have a special guest from the Talking Beast podcast.

We have Brian, better known as Glum Puddle, here to talk to us about fantasy worlds where animals are actually able to speak.

So we're really excited to dive into that and talk about adventures where animals can be

part of the conversation. But before we do that, Neil, we have a couple five-star reviews.

These three five-star reviews come to us from Canada.

Yes, they do.

And the first one is from Seamuse 93, five stars.

Thank you for this podcast.

Was turned on to this podcast thanks to the folks over at Bombarded, which great podcast.

If you're not listening, go do that. If you are a new

DM like myself, this podcast is an absolute must. They answer all the thoughts and questions I had

for D&D and all the questions I didn't know I had. So thank you, Seamuse, for that wonderful

name and that wonderful review. Yes, that is a fantastic name.

Speaking of fantastic names, our next one comes from Jim the Epic and is entitled

Plus One to DM Wisdom, Five Stars.

Longtime fan and subscriber, every time I start a new campaign, I go back and listen to

old episodes for inspiration.
