Welcome back to D.mastics, the gym for dungeon masters to work out their minds. I'm one of your hosts, D.M. Celeste, aka. C. Witch.

And I'm your other host, D.M I'm Neil, aka Jote Moniac.

Celeste, would you like to go on an adventure with me?

Always. Anytime, Neil. You just say the word, I have a backpack right here, ready to go.

I have a satchel. Indiana Jones also has a satchel. That's fancy.

So one of the ideas that I came up with is that I feel like we've gotten away from doing some more of the community-based world building for day I'm-bid.

And it's one of the things where twofold, obviously it's super cool to build something together.

The other thing is these are super practical things that every DM is bound

to face. Be it your players go into a village you weren't fully prepared for. They zig when

you thought they were going to Zag. On a shopping trip, you all of a sudden have to make up 20

businesses. Yeah. Yeah. Familiar. Super quickly if no one knows, if someone doesn't know what the style of gaming that West marches is, basically you have an open world and more often than not, you have more than your standard size of players.

If everyone showed up, chaos wouldn't see.

But if six people get together, let's say, I'm one of the six, I'm the party leader, and I go to Celeste, I say, hey, do you mind being the DM for this? We would like to go on this adventure. And so it's a very open sandboxy style. What I thought we could do is have a De Ime Bay march, which is looking at the giant map of the collective world we have built

through the podcast called Dayimbe.

Yes, it is just me saying DMB, very weird.

Okay.

But if I say it with confidence, it sounds real.

Yeah.

And so I picked a point on the map, and specifically a village called Lyceola Village, and I created an exercise.

Nice.

So what did I have? What questions did we ask in our latest DMNastics exercise?

Yeah.
