In this episode, Tim talks about how to use player classes in the Dungeons and Dragons Players Handbook to generate ideas for enemies and villains in your campaigns.

To safeguard Elwyn's whereabouts, the heroes agree to help Martyn the Cloak, the leader of the thieves' guild, to find out who is supplying New Life elixir to members of the guild. Their prime suspect is known for having a knack for disappearing suddenly, and their plan to corner him requires a good amount of social stealth and a surprising amount of eggs. This week's episode has a few grown-up wo...

In the first Behind-The-Screen episode, Tim talks about what has happened in the campaign so far, what he predicts the players will do, and what he is planning based on those predictions.

Welcome to the Knights and Nerds podcast! In this brief introduction, Tim explains how the show is different from most Dungeons and Dragons actual play podcasts. Hint: it's the fact that, in the special Dungeon Master-only episodes, he'll be talking about worldbuilding, encounter design, and adjusting to the choices of the players (among other things) so that fellow Dungeon Masters can learn from...
