Description
DoubleDM is a show by two passionate game masters, Nils and Emil, where we take you on a fun, insightful, and inspiring journey into the world of Tabletop Roleplaying every single week!
We dive deep into key aspects of running TTRPGs like Dungeons and Dragons, Masks: A New Generation, or Cyberpunk Red, from crafting great and compelling stories and plots to developing new and exciting homebrew content for your games. Every Episode comes packed with actionable Game Mastering Advice ready for you to implement directly, Ideas and Inspiration for you to use, develop, and expand upon, and a massive amount of Insight from two Game Masters that have run games for nearly 25 years combined!
And then we also invite and host guests on our shows that can give you a peek behind the curtain of their projects and products and share their insightful wisdom with us and you!
So come on, sit down, Play Games, have fun, and don't forget to talk about it! Join us now on the Journey that is DoubleDM!
