How to Be a Better DM: Dungeon Master Tips for the DM Newbie, the Hobbyist and the Forever DM

Downtime Activities in D&D, Part 1: How to Build A Stronghold


Listen Later

Our topic today is something that you may not have experienced as a DM, since it is a very specific type of adventure mechanic. But, with the right party and right campaign, it could be a new, fun experience for you and your players. Namely, today we are talking about building a stronghold. Or, you might call it your base, your homestead, your castle. Heck, you could even go The Swiss Family Robinson route and make it a treehouse. Whatever it is specifically, in the end it is a place for your players’ characters to call home. Let's learn about it!
