![]() ![]() ![]() No one can tell a story exactly like you can, no one can run a game like you can. Too often games are dominated by people who are into the same types of media, who live relatively similar lives, often at the risk of excluding others. First, because it gives you respect for the amount of work your DM puts into the games you play in, but more importantly, no one can run a game like you run a game, and a wide array of voices, styles, and lived experiences are what this hobby needs to continue to thrive. I think everyone should try running a game at least once. Naturally, there’s nuances, and other tricks and rules that are helpful to know, and we’ll go over that here. It’s the paradigm for pretty much anything players can throw at you. Have them beat a 5 if the task is relatively easy, 10 if there’s a moderate chance of failure, 15 if the task is difficult, and a 20 if what they’re doing is superhero-esque. If it’s something that’s more difficult, or more interesting if there’s a chance for failure, have them roll a check with a corresponding ability or skill to see if they’re successful. As you already know, DnD is just describing the situation to the players and asking them “What do you do?” If it’s a thing that’s simple, assume it’s done and describe how that affects the situation. I’m gonna give you my elevator pitch on why you can be a DM right now, without knowing anything else about the game. It’s a little more work than just showing up and playing a character, but if you really enjoy the game, it’s an incredibly rewarding experience and marvelous creative outlet. What if you do something wrong? What if you look like a dummy? This all sounds way too hard. But it’s gotta be difficult right? Lots of memorizing rules and knowing all kinds of stats for monsters and weapons and armor. Or maybe you’ve never played Dungeons and Dragons before and would like to play with a group of friends and no one else wants to run the game. So maybe you’ve been playing Dungeons and Dragons for a while and you’d like to take a turn at being a Dungeon Master. ![]()
