Dungeon Master's Apprentice

After months of ordering the wrong cords, I finally figured out how to play music through my mixer. This episode is a celebration of that minor accomplishment and a tribute to the generous creators of Runescape who let unpopular content creators such as myself use their beautiful soundtrack for free. Listen along as I wax nostalgic and spend some time coming up with a character I may never play. ...

It's been a while since our last episode, so John and I are back to debrief our last episode and discuss the peaks and valleys of our last few home sessions while dispensing our wisdom throughout. Additionally, I figured out I had my mic on the wrong settings and I was speaking into the wrong part of it, so enjoy the improved sound quality and look forward to more musical upgrades coming soon.&nbs...

To celebrate 500 listens, the boys came together to record a one-shot episode that may end up being more of a two-shot. We had a lot of fun with this episode and want to thank you all for listening. Stay tuned for more adventures! Don't forget to drop a review and give us a follow @dungeonmasterpod on Instagram.
