Dungeon Master of None

Matt and Rob do some actual prep, but this time it's a linear adventure (boo! hiss!) We sketch out a quest to bring down a decadent nobleman who is cheating death and causing mayhem with his party that never ends! Can the intrepid DMs beat the odds and make a direct line a little bit more interesting? Listen and find out!
