Hey, this is Rich Howard, and you are listening to the Dungeon Master's Block.

Welcome to the Block Party.

Welcome back to another episode of the dungeon mat Well, actually, welcome back to the player's block,

where we focus on the player, the most important person in the game,

the only person able to create heroic characters, bring memorable stories to life, and undermine any

DM's well-laid plans. I'm one of your host, DM, and player Mitch. And I'm DM and

player, Chris. And we want to welcome to a special episode of The Players Block, where we today are

going to focus on the players.

And so we have our guest, Richard Howard.

You might remember him from the Aquatic Campaigns episode.

He's back.

He's going to be joining us and talking about all things player today.

We're going to talk about today how to be the best player you can in all aspects of gaming. Being a DM, I know I have brought a lot of things to the table as being a player. I'm able to help create a story both for my own character, where I get to basically DM my own player, as well as help further the story of the DM, who, as I know and as you guys know and as Mitch knows puts a ton of time into this

and so we today are going to focus on players how to help your DMs create their story as

players and how to help yourself play the best game you can as a player more than just simply

all right we kill some things so but before we get to that, we have some shout-outs to do.

So I'll start the first one.

This one is from Ben J. Latham.

This one came in on March 4th, and it is entitled, A Great Listen for New and Experienced

DEMs, 5 stars.

He writes, I have been playing D&D and role-playing games ever since I was six years old.

We've been DMing various games for over half a decade now, and I'm still learning things from this podcast.
