This week Seth and Drew talk about what it's like to design a really big and intricate dungeon for a heist they have coming up tomorrow. Supposedly this is Seth's "Biggest Map Ever" but personally I don't think it could be THAT big. Maybe like, a little above average at best. But map size doesn't matter, it's how you use it...I think

Lately, there's been a lot of talk online about paying to play D&D, and also making a living as a DM. Seth, our resident expert at DMing out in public for strangers, gives his insight on how these games typically go. Drew on the other hand, is diving into the deep end and is going to be trying out running some games for people online at an affordable price! Enjoy this episode and come back next Friday for more!

We just fly by the seat of our pants and our bows have endless arrows. All this and a lot more in this episode!
