1 hr 2 min - World-Building: Events & Holidays - Nerdcognito Episode 306
Often when DMs are world-building or even running a game, there is such focus on the direction of the story that some elements of the "rest of the realm" are forgotten. Today, we talk about the importance of holidays, celebrations, and events in your game world. After the news, we also have a listen at Ginny Di's newest singing endeavor.
