What makes an ideal DM?

Published: March 8, 2021, 6 a.m.

You may have been lucky at some point to have a great DM at your table, but what made them great? Was it how they roleplayed an npc or how they crafted an engaging or thrilling adventure? Were they ready to go when they sat down at the table, prepared for the night\u2019s activities.? If you had to take all those qualities and instill them into a DM, what would make an ideal DM to you? Today in our session we talk about the positive traits we want to see in ourselves as DMs and the DMs we play under as we think on the DM\u2019s side of the screen. The ideal DM, the one we want to play with and the one we want to be. So grab a drink, sit down, and have a listen.
