Welcome back to the Dengen 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 of the people at the table.

I'm one of your hosts, DM Neal, aka Jote Moniac.

And I am your other host for the day, DM Chris, aka DM Chris.

Hey!

Never gets old, Neil.

Never gets old.

It does not.

Yeah, so we're really excited to be together today because we are talking about monsters,

which is always a staple in running any D&D game.

But we're not just talking plain old monsters. We're talking about how do we scale monsters either up or down to fit the stories that we're telling.

Because let's be real, sometimes we want to use a tarasque, but we will never get to a level high enough to use a taras. So how do we scale something like that

down? Or if we're never going to get to a, or if we have a specific enemy that we're thinking

about, like we want to have orcs all the way through, how do we scale orcs up to get to a

higher level when our players get to level 10,

and you would need a billion of them to really do anything against your players? So that's what we're

going to talk about today. So special shout out to Trish, who gave me this idea that I gave to Chris,

who loved it and thought we should definitely record.

Done. So with that though, we've got nothing else right now. So we're going to head to the meat.

I'm starving. We ain't had nothing but maggotty bread for three stinking days.

Why can't we have some meats?

The flight meat back on the menu, boys.
