Yeah this is the guy. You gonna like the vids I bet, to me they were the best advice for starting out with DnD I got so far. And they are damn funny.

Excellent advice on how to handle death in your dnd game as a dungeonmaster! Death as imminent threat, single character kill, TPK

Alright, I renamed the thread badass dnd advice because I gonna post more cool stuff from different sources not just from runehammer. The drunkens and dragons channel is killer, it taught me a lot and I bet I gonna post more from it. But there are others as well.

I really like the way Matt Mercer is dm'ing. He describes scenes like noone I ve seen. I wanna develop a solid writing and storytelling skill and bring it to my games. Model the best!

Very cool tips on fixing DM mistakes on the fly, how to avoid unintended TPK's, and how to prepare for the unexpected (ready to use NPC's, Sidestoryhooks, on the fly environment descriptions)

Just found realmsmith the other day. Epic Dnd group running the Curse of Strahdt!

Its superfun to watch and learn from especially on how to run a cool game! I like the characters, the chemistry with the players and that they dont go overboard on the whole stupid voice, overacting thing some groups do. Definitely worth watching.

I love how the dm uses terrain, sound (syrinscape) and light all combined while still narrating everything in full detail. Killer dming!

Last two Curse of Strahdt episodes before the game resumes some time in fall this year. This dnd campaign looks like it is such a blast to run. I am definitely working myself up to run this in the near future. All earlier episodes are above in this thread. Really fun game group and epic story playin out. And here Matt Mercer shows up in a more than epic way as Strahd himself!

note: all earlier episodes were all shot/played around a table in person and not on zoom
