Welcome back Blockheads to another episode of the Dungeon Masters block, the place where we come to talk about the Dungeon Master, the most important person in the game, the only person capable of playing God, killing characters, and lowering the egos of all of the players

at your table. I'm one of your host, Dungeon Master Chris. And I'm Dungeon Master Mitch. And this

week we are talking all about player backgrounds. And the best part about it is we are joined by,

I guess, Chris Jackson, but he will be here shortly when we get to the meat of the episode. So hold on to that.

Great author. If you haven't read any of his stuff, go and read it. Before we do that, we have to give

a couple of shoutouts to some of our faithful five-star reviews on iTunes. So Mitch, who is our

first five-star review we are giving a review to? Our first one has taken our intro to heart. His name is Nate is a God and his review is

entitled DM Trickery, five stars. That's the phrase I most commonly hear from my players. It's all

thanks to DM Mitch and DM Chris and the rest of the DMB crew for all the excellent inspiration,

fun discussion, and insightful ideas that they provide.

As a new DM, I immediately jumped into creating an entire world all of my own, and this

podcast has made it all possible.

And despite their needling about my DM trickery, I can always tell my

players are having an awesome time. Thanks for everything and keep up the indispensable work. So thank you

so much, Nate is a god. We appreciate that review. Our next one comes from Verenor, five stars,

essential and inspiring. Thank you guys so much for existing. I listen to you at work, and it really keeps my mind buzzing with new possibilities while driving off the work night slog. I've been through each episode multiple times now, and I still find new inspiration each time. So Varoni, thank you so much for your five-star review. We greatly, greatly appreciate it.

And with that, Mitch, you know what time it is.

It's time to head into 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.
