This season on My First Dungeon we are delving deep into darkness in the tragic horror game 10 Candles. This isn’t a game about survival, there are no survivors. Our characters will die, without question and without quarrel. Instead, it is a game about hope, and how it can be found even in the darkest of moments. My First Dungeon is the tabletop role-playing podcast where we put first-time GMs through their paces as we build and run their first adventure and then circle back around to discuss what went right, what went wrong, and how they can make their game better. This is a three part series. Episode one is all about prep, where we will focus on building the session, understanding the GM’s worries, and setting them up for success. Then it's out of the frying pan and into the fire in episode two where our nascent Game Master will run their very first game for a group of experienced players. Then in episode three we will look back on that first game and discuss what went right, what went wrong, and how we can improve.

Brian and Elliot are joined by 10 Candles' creator Stephen Dewey who walks them through his innovative game and discusses how to best build a horror narrative and how to keep your players on the edge of their seats.

Jay Dragon joins us once again to discuss Wanderhome, running guide-less sessions, and our very first game of this ENNIE award-winning pastoral fantasy. 

The land of Hæth is a pastoral fantasy world filled with everything you could ever need from a role-playing game: Moth mailmen, bumblebee shepherds, and a countryside filled with the quiet knowledge of the small and forgotten gods. But there's one thing this game doesn't need: A Game Master.

This season Jay Dragon introduces us to GM-less systems and gets us ready for a game of Wanderhome. Join us as we prepare for our first session of this ENNIE award-winning game where each player has equal control of the world.
