Dungeon Master Seminar
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | One-Shot
About the adventure
Dungeon Masters are in short supply. They always have been; even as far back as the 1970's when I started. This is a short two hour seminar on being a dungeon master for new aspiring DMs. No experience required for being DM. There's nothing really fancy here it's just a way for players to build a little confidence in how to get started as a DM. I have been running games since I was 7 years old and have run almost all of the editions so far. Being a DM can be intimidating but it is also a lot of fun. I cover the basics of keeping it fun, learning how to do it; where to find players and how to get started. One of the most important principles I teach is that DM's aren't perfect. You owe your players a fun experience; and the best that you can do. If you tell players that you're new to DMing they are almost always super helpful. Send me a friend request on Discord (CorwinBlackWolf) for more. Thanx Guys! May the wind be at our backs; and a cold brew at our lips. Corwin
Game style
Dungeon Crawl
A “Dungeon Crawl” is a scenario where players navigate a dungeon or labyrinth-like environment for the entirety of the adventure. It emphasizes battling monsters, collecting loot, and avoiding traps to survive to the end!
Theater of the Mind
“Theater of the Mind” uses little to no visuals for scene settings and combat. Instead, the narrative imagery comes from the Game Master’s descriptions and character action and movement comes from Players’ descriptions.
Rule of Cool (RoC)
“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.

Corwin is fantastic. He's so good with new players, and his ideas are creative and engaging. I am having a blast on his Planar Express campaign. 10/10 Would recommend.
