Being a Dungeon Master isn't easy - but it can be easier! These are tips that I had or I wish I had when I first started running the game, from things to do before you ever roll a dice to what to focus on when you're behind the screen.

At The Bard's College, I post content on DnD and being a Dungeon Master, as well as content that you can use in your own games. This is my first video, so any feedback or support is appreciated!
