#44 - Environmental factors like weather, terrain, and landscape can powerfully shape a tabletop RPG session’s mood, challenges, and player choices.

Seasoned GM and author of the Daily DM Blog, Anthony shares how setting details and natural forces to deepen immersion, influence decisions, and enrich storytelling in D&D and other role-playing games.
