Hey everyone, I'm Travis Vengroff. And I'm Kay Stats. And together we are co-dems for Dark Dice.

0:06.3

We are. And we have some fun stuff to talk about today, largely to do with DMing and running games and playing in games.

0:11.9

And some scams that you guys should know of and just some general celebration of Valentine's Day.

0:19.0

Yeah, being together, togetherness stuff.

0:21.1

That's always good.

0:22.4

So we, let's see, we started co-d-empting rather recently on the show only three years ago.

0:30.5

Oh man, we've been codemming for so long now.

0:33.0

Yeah, it's actually been longer, I think.

0:34.5

And it's so much more than just like sitting at the table when you co-d-empt.

0:57.9

It's the co-writing everything, co-prepping everything, building things. It's a lot. We've done a live show together. Yeah, a live show, live D&D tables at D&D and Castle, things like that. It's been a lot of fun. It's a bit different. Not everyone does it. We have some stuff that we do that may help you for organizational purposes. Yes. We like to keep organized.

1:05.9

color coding, time charts, having things written in a way that we both fully understand. And because of that,

1:12.2

because we now have a book out, we have kind of determined that we both work well in the format

1:17.1

that we're used to when it comes to DMing from a book. So now when we write, we try to write

1:22.7

in a way that most fits that. It's not only easy for when we want to publish something,

1:26.7

but also because we're

1:27.8

both used to writing and working like that, it works for both of us. And I'd also say that we are

1:33.7

descriptive game masters. So like when you hear the podcast and we're describing the different rooms

1:38.2

and the scary monsters you encounter, that's kind of what we do. If you want to talk about Valentine's

1:44.1

Day and a little bit of what we love, which is we love Dungeons and Dragons.

1:49.4

But other people also love D&D.
