Dungeon World Fronts in D&D - Sly Flourish

Every TTPRG has something to offer you even if you don't intend on playing it. As DMs it is important to expand our vocabulary by exploring the different concepts and tools presented in other games. A lot of the time, these tools are system agnostic. For example, Dungeon World introduces a great tool for campaign building called "fronts" that I highly recommend you give a try.

LEARN FROM THE MASTERS. If you are at all interested in running sandbox TTRPG campaigns, it's worth understanding what makes sandbox video games great, too. There is crossover and there is no better place to start studying that crossover than with Elden Ring.

Judd Karlman is the fantastic host of "Daydreaming about Dragons". This podcast is way too under-appreciated. Judd knows what he is talking about and he gets straight to the point while doing it. Each episode ranges between 20 to 30 minutes and usually focuses on one topic related to DMing.

I hope these resources inspire you! See you next week.
