  • WBB: Ep 4 What a DM actually needs and how you can invest in your future

    It’s difficult when you are just starting out to know what you actually need to be a dungeon master. Watching content creators or hell even going into a game store can be misleading on what's actually needed.

    Birk goes over his opinions and makes suggestions for new dungeon masters. Birk covers everything from dice to dm screens.

  • WBB: Ep 3 House Rules

    This episode is going to be a bit more off cuff than my previous episodes. House rules can be used many different ways. They can be used to keep the game going smoothly or to make sure your friend over there doesn't throw up on your couch. I reached out to a hand full of dms and pulled up some commonly used house rules.

    Burk starts with his house rules and then moves into community and common house rules.

  • WBB: Ep 2 Picking a System for your campaign

    For 90% of the people, picking a system for their campaign is a non issue. Most games typically lean to either Sci Fi or Fantasy. This week we are going to talk about finding systems that might fit your campaign setting with as little modification as possible.

  • WBB: Ep 1 Staring a game during a pandemic

    Originally, This wasn't going to be the first episode but honestly we live in unprecedented times and this is probably the best time for this episode.

    This pandemic hasn't been easy for any of us. You might be in a situation where you are stuck at home or maybe you are waiting for your whole group to be vaccinated before playing in person.  Maybe you are looking to start an online game.

    Whatever your reason, I can give you some suggestions and advice to run a remote game and hopefully not sound like an infomercial while doing it.

  • WBB: Ep 0 Introduction

    Introduction episode for Worldbuilding with Burk. I decided to have this introduction episode be its own thing rather than tack it on the episode 1. I always feel it makes these things unnecessarily awkward. Something that often happens with session one of tabletop games. Think of this as session 0 of this show. It's important to set expectations.
