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.

With every conversation we hope to inspire as many as possible

to keep on dungeon mastering.

And I'm one of your hosts, DM Derek, aka How Not to DM.

And I'm your other host, DM Neal, aka Jote Moniac.

And today, we are talking about a very nebulous but important topic brought to us by our friend Eric Silver.

We're going to be talking a little bit about feelings about being a dungeon master.

We're going to get in touch with our feelings today, Neil.

So we've already recorded it.

So this intro and outro is after it. And I can easily say that this is just going to get in touch with our feelings today, Neil. So we've already recorded it. So this intro and outcho is after it. And I can easily say that

this is just going to be three DMs having basically an hour worth of catharsis with each other.

And it's a really good conversation about what is different about being a DM now compared to

five years ago, 10 years ago, or anything

like that. And it is just a good, genuine conversation talking about a conversation that

you typically can't have. And so you can listen. Hopefully you enjoy listening to the three of us

have that conversation. And hopefully a lot of it rings true with you, too, so you know you're not alone out there.

I've been listening to this podcast for a while, and it's helped me make wonderful and interesting worlds for my players to enjoy

and allowed me to make my adventures more enjoyable. Thank you so much for making this podcast.

You know what? Thank you, Vincent, for listening to this podcast. Literally, it is things like this,

and it's the messages we receive that make it, it's worth it. It's worth it every time to do this and get that kind of feedback.
