Everyday Dungeon Master

Running a Game Full of Villains


Listen Later

Welcome to Everyday Dungeon Master! Our guest Dungeon Master today is John! In today’s episodes, we dig into what it is like to run an evil-aligned game including some tips and tricks on how to run one efficiently, how it differs from a standard game of D&D and how to ensure it doesn't just turn into a murderhobo rampage. We also get John’s take on the new One D&D coming out in 2024 as someone who is a true veteran of the game, having played and DM’d every edition.

Today’s Monster Spotlight is a classic. DM John presents the terrifying, the undying and powerful Lich! John covers Lich lore and how rich it can be as well as gives a great tip for how to run a Lich encounter. Remember, if your players walk away from the table saying that was easy… you probably didn’t play the Lich as best as you could have. Go check out the Lich and if it works, build an arc or story for your players so they can experience it for themselves!

As mentioned on today’s episode, John (and I) are big supporters of The Silver Key Lounge located in Mesa, Arizona. This is an awesome board game/TTRPG/bar space that provides a relaxing, comfortable and fun environment to play your favorite TTRPG or board game. If you live in the area, or you are just visiting, go check them out!

With that, I hope you enjoy today’s episode. If you are a DM wanting to be featured on a future episode send me an email at [email protected] or find me on Twitter and Facebook at @EverydayDMPod.
