Dungeon Master's Apprentice episodes

  • 39. Creating Characters You Actually Enjoy w Neil Robertson & Brett Clark!

    For the first time ever, DMA hits the road for a remote recording at Neil's place! In this episode, Brett, Neil, and I talk about our love for fiction as a whole, what initially drew us to D&D, and the most important things to consider when making a character.

    It was an honour and a pleasure to record in the Robertson-Waterbury household; we had a blast with this episode and I hope you guys do, too!

  • 37. Sci-Fi+D&D=? w Brett Clark!
    In preparation for a very special Sci-Fi themed campaign, Brett and I talk about how to merge interplanetary space travel with boss-level dragon fights. Is it possible to merge futuristic themes with the fifth edition of D&D, or are you better off finding a different TTRPG altogether? 
    We will be following up on how this campaign went in future episodes, so be sure to stay tuned. And of course, as always, thanks for listening. Our Instagram is @dungeonmasterpod, but you already know that.

  • 36. The Main Character w João Junqueira!

    This week we finally get to reconnect with our good friend John, who very recently moved back to Brazil. Once we catch up with him, we delve into whether it's okay for a party to have rotating main characters, or if the spotlight should always be shared equally.

  • 35. A Change of Scenery w Brett Clark!

    Brett's back after a long week of work to discuss how long you should spend in each setting in your campaign. Should you settle into one location or bounce around a roulette of demi-planes? Also, we finally land on a new name for an old segment! This was a funny and informative episode, and it's always a pleasure to be in such great company!

  • 34. One on One-Shot w Nathan Wentzell!

    Nathan is back in the house and we're here to answer one simple question: can D&D be played with just 2 people? We put it to the test and turns out, it's actually pretty awesome! This episode follows the adventures of Nathan AKA Crayton, a resourceful and powerful ranger who investigates an orcish hideout in a deep, mysterious jungle. We had a lot of fun recording this one, so be sure to give it a listen and please tell us your 1on1 D&D session stories!

    Nathan joins me for an in-person podcast in which we unbox a mystery dice set, talk about whether you should spare your party's lives in a tough encounter, and delve into the seven subsections of the icy plane of Frostfell.

  • 32. Giving Your DM a Break w Brett Clark and Nathan Wentzell!

    Being the DM week after week, session after session can get a little tiresome. That's why we got the boys back to discuss ways that you can take a little off your DM's plate. Trust me, they'll appreciate it. We also wax about basketball, Lost, and Mars (the planet), so you won't want to miss out!

    Are you tired of the same old combat scenarios? Well Brett and I are here to discuss how you can throw a nasty curveball at your players and keep them on their heels. We also debrief Brett's first time DMing and a very intense boss battle.

  • 30. Pregaming w Brett Clark and Nathan Wentzell!

    Moments before Brett's first time DMing, we hop on the Zoom with Nate to get the jitters out, talk about our new characters, what it feels like to DM for the first time, and answer some last-minute questions. This episode was just as fun as the session that followed, and we'll definitely have Brett on to update us on how he think it went.

    As always, thanks for listening and give us a follow on Instagram @dungeonmasterpod, PLEASE!
