Welcome back to the Dungeon Masters block, the place where we come to talk about the

dungeon master, the most important person in the game. I'm your host, Diem Neal, aka Jote Maniac.

Jack of all trades, master of none, in case you were asking.

And today we have a very special guest.

We have Derek.

We could call him DM Derek from the podcast, How Not to DM.

I say it in the audio and I'll say it here.

If you're not listening, definitely go check out all the awesome stuff that Derek is doing.

Today we're talking about character growth for your player characters.

And when to use it, when not to use it, how to introduce it, all of those things,

and how to put character growth into your game if you see fit.

And of course, that's it.

That's all I got.

So rather than talk anymore, let's 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?

Looks like meat. Back on the menu, boys.

So today for the meat, we have a very special guest.

We have Derek, the host of How Not to DM, a podcast that if you're listening to this one,

I think it's one that you should absolutely go listen to as well.

And simply, thank you, Derek, for coming on.

Thanks for having me, Neil. And like you said, yes, you, Derek, for coming on. Thanks for having me,
