Hidden Rolls: A podcast for Dungeon Masters, By Dungeon Masters
Each week, we take a look behind the screen and at the hidden notes of a DM/GM, and basically nerd out specifically about the ineffable role of the Dungeon Master. This is for anyone who wants to know how to be a Dungeon Master or Game Master for Dungeons & Dragons, or any TTRPG system. A link to a transcription of the episode will be in the show notes each week.
