DMing Workshop: Unit 1, Chapter 2: Tension
Added 2024-01-28 15:10:36 +0000 UTCYou do not need to have attended prior workshops to attend this one. VODs of previous workshops are linked in the Bronze Masterpost.
I'm excited to announce the second workshop in my educational DMing skills series, modeled after the chapters of my forthcoming textbook, The Dungeon Master's Handbook. This meeting will focus live "classroom" time on hands-on activities, workshops, and case studies, rather than the "lecture" format that predominated old workshops.
You can find information about the workshop below. I hope to see you there!

Description: In this month's class, we'll discuss tension: the second of the three pillars of good TTRPG design.

It will be! Unfortunately, it'll be probably a lot less valuable then getting to do the exercises/activities live, but you'll still be able to review the group discussions!
