• We will not tolerate discrimination or disrespectful behavior of any kind.
• Prohibited topics include (but are not limited to): Sexism, sexual violence & content of any kind, excessive graphic violence, verbal violence, content or behavior that discriminates or marginalizes people based on personal attributes such as gender, race, religion, political views, age, disability, medical or genetic conditions, etc.

This workshop is perfect for beginner Dungeon Masters, starting with some essential guidance on good dungeon mastering practices. We’ll then cover:
