It's almost inevitable--one day, the DM's well of inspiration will run dry. Or perhaps you're a new DM, and feel daunted by the task that lies ahead? Either way, in this special episode we offer some places from which you can draw inspiration in coming up with ideas.

We had originally intended to release this episode later on in our run, but after a week of questions and interactions with some brilliant friends on Twitter, we thought it might be better to release it now. Join us as we talk about a few things that keep us going!

In particular, we mention:

Dragon Talk, an official D&D podcast that covers all aspects of gaming

The DM's Block, a great podcast resource for getting new ideas on how to run a game

Sneak Attack, a fantastic actual play podcast that we've really enjoyed listening to

The DM's Craft, a YouTube channel where a DM shows fun ways to make actual props for games

There are certainly more avenues to explore, and perhaps we'll do that in a later special episode, but for now, please enjoy our humble offering!

And if you like what you hear, please take a moment to leave us a five star rating on iTunes--it will help connect us with other gamers.
