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 host, DM Neal, aka Joke Moniac.

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

And that's the last time you'll hear from Derek.

No, I'm just kidding. Because he is not on

this episode, except for the intro and the outro, but fear not, because it is another great episode.

And this time around, we are going to have Jay Tyler Pennington, an author of a series that I

think every listener will enjoy. You could read it with your kids. You could read it on

your own. But the topic we're going to talk about is epic endings, because there is nothing

that is more kind of demoralizing, I feel like, as a DM than having your campaign end with a

whimper rather than a bang. Oof, I haven't heard the audio of this episode, but my current game is ending soon,

and it remains to be seen which of those that's going to end us.

So I will try my best.

Hopefully I get some inspiration from this.

Well, perfect.

Speaking of ways that campaigns end last episode, Celeste and I talked about the idea,

the concept of your game ending on a fiscal year.

And I just want to take a moment to shout out to DM Brian.

And apparently he does this exact thing.

And like, it's such a great, like, it's such a funny concept.

But, like, in practice, it makes so much sense.
