I plan to post a video soon about how a recent camping trip got my D&D and creative juices flowing. Meanwhile, here's a video I posted recently with tips on how you can find your creative muse:

Hello, Mastodon! If you missed it, I released a new video late last week:

NEW VIDEO: What makes a good DM?
A player in the teens D&D group I run asked if their character can wield a +2 Squeegee.
Rule of Cool to the rescue!
Are you a D&D player that is curious about becoming a Dungeon Master? This Q&A with someone who went from 5e player to dungeon master is helpful.

Authors know how to keep their readers engaged with their story. As a D&D Dungeon Master, you can apply this method to your own game to keep your players coming back session after session, engaged and enthused for more.
More evidence Mastodon is awesome:
For my most recent video [ Table Tales ep. 1 - "It was awesome! Don't ever do it again!" ] posted last week, 52% of traffic came from Mastodon alone. It took 7 other sources of clicks to generate the other 48% of traffic.

What's the most off-the-wall thing a player has asked for in your D&D game?

As a new content creator on YouTube, I'm working to put out a new video every week. It's fascinating to see which ones gain in popularity the quickest...
Rule of Cool: There are no squeegees in D&D!

The Rule of Cool says, "If it's fun, do it" ... But how far do you take that?
Is the Rule of Cool a good or bad thing in D&D? At what point does it stop adding to the game's enjoyment and instead takes you into chaos?
Can you relate?
"I used to be a railroading Dungeon Master, but I'm all better now!"
