Minor 'Lost Mine Of Phandelver' spoilers in this episode. This week I host Derrick from the How Not To DM podcast (HN2DM), to once again talk about all the glorious mistakes we make! the most value from these kinds of discussions, however, is not what to avoid, but what can be learned. We are all beginners at some point, and so we share our experiences and how they can bring us all together in this hobby we love. 05:56 - The Biggest Mistake 18:54 - The Learning Experience 31:49 - What Makes a Good Player Find Derrick on:  How Not to DM: https://anchor.fm/hn2dm Twitter: https://twitter.com/HN2DM T4C Discord: https://discord.com/invite/FycFWE4KwY Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hownottodm/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_v4UX77Yb_Fwrc3GAMTzjQ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@hn2dm Find Thinking Critically online: https://www.thinkingcritically.co.uk Original 'Mistakes' episode: https://www.thinkingcritically.co.uk/mistakes And in Dungeons, Dice, and Dudes: https://linktr.ee/DDandD Patrons: Robert Hartley @RobertHartleyGM: https://www.patreon.com/RobertHartleyGM Optional Rule @optionalrule: https://www.optionalrule.com/ Matthew Perkins @mperkinsDM: https://www.matthewperkins.net/ Matt Street @mpstreet88: https://www.virtualtimehustle.com/ Intro Music: 'Local Forecast' by Kevin MacLeod Intermission Music: 'Chill' by Kevin MacLeod Outro Music: 'Local Forecast - Elevator' by Kevin MacLeod
