“I have been writing my own homebrew campaign as my GM debut. I have never played, much less been a GM/DM but I want to dive in head first. I’m on episode 50 and powering through every episode! You speak very clearly about the points you want to make and keep things entertaining while also...”Read full review »

“Really like the read throughs of the PHB and DMG. I think we care about different things (I care about campaign building instead of world building) but overall, has lots of useful advice. If you are new or less new to DMing, I would say check it out.”

“Lex is very knowledgeable about RPGs and being a GM. He gives great advice for new GMs. The actual play segments are creative and interesting. If you have a question, if you contact Lex, he actually responds. The supplements he sells are informative and fun also.”

You don’t have to be a D&D player to learn something. We’ve had a similar role playing experience and longevity and I always learn...”Read full review »

“I am enjoying the podcast's series on West Marches campaigns. What really detracts is the preamble at the start. Every episode has 15-20mins of waffle about Patreons, buying T-Shirts and other filler. I also hate the trance music.”Read full review »

“Sometimes can take up 19 minutes to actually get to the topic. Spends way too much time thanking everyone over and over during intros. Also could definitely stop repeating same points over for minutes at a time.
Aside from that, information is good.”
