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, DM Neal, aka Jote Moniac.

And today I have Natalie Egan from the D&D team on,

and we're going to be discussing the latest starter set

and more so the designs behind it,

seeing as how it is the third introduction method into D&D 5th edition.

But before we do that, we have a five-star review entitled,

whether you level up by XP or milestone, you'll level up here. And that is brought to us by

Gray Jedi 505. I've been listening to this podcast for over five years now and have gotten

tons of inspiration and guidance by the host, Chris, Mitch, Neil, and all of their guests.

They have made me a better DM and also a better player. I wouldn't have had the courage or

drive to DM or have my own D&A actual play podcast without them. Keep up the good work.

Thank you, Great Jedi. And if anything above what we do, you keep up the good

work, and as always, keep on dungeon mastering. But with that out of the way, 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 another special guest, someone who has not been on the pod before, which is always exciting for me personally.

And today we have Natalie Egan,

the D&D team product manager. Natalie, thanks for coming on. Hello. Yeah, thank you for having me.
