How to Give Just a Little More to Your Roleplaying as a Dungeon Master
You’ve probably wondered if you could do or give more. Specifically with your roleplaying, you may have finished a session and thought that you could do better. I’ve been there too. I’ve had many sessions where I’ve wished that I was a much better roleplayer.
Luckily today, we’re going to share 7 tips to help you give more to your roleplaying.
Welcome to How to Be a Better DM.
This is the show that helps you speed up the learning curve of being a DM without spending extra time, and extra hassle.
I’m Justin Lewis, and I’ve been helping dungeon masters now for over 150 episodes. I’ve spoken with Voice Actors, writers and even real life experts, all to help you be a Better DM.
Why Give more to your Roleplaying:
- We’ve all had those experiences after a really good roleplay where there’s almost this stunned silence
- Part of why we got into D&D was to reach that full immersion
- Your players want you to give everything you have
How to Give more to your Roleplaying:
- Be vulnerable
- Try things that may not work out
- Think about your players altruistically
- Forget yourself
- Try some real life Improv Classes
- Practice your Acting/Public Speaking
- Use the White Space of DMing

Start Leveling Up As a DM
Wouldn’t it be nice to gamify your dungeon master abilities?
In D&D, characters can reach level 20, so why can’t dungeon masters?
We’re happy to tell you that now, you can.
We created the Dungeon Master Level-Up Guide.
It’s a simple tool to gamify your progression to higher and higher levels of dungeon mastering.
It includes Dungeon Master Levels 1 to 20 with associated XP requirements as well as a long list of Dungeon Master activities that will give you XP. Each activity has a Challenge Rating and an XP amount.
In order to level up, all you need to do is find out how much XP you have, find out how much you need and pick activities to try.
You can get the Dungeon Master Level-Up guide for free by going to session0studios.com/newsletter/, sign up for our newsletter and we’ll email you the Level-Up Guide.
Finally, leveling up as a DM can be as fun as leveling up a character.
