Hey there DMNs! We're back with what will for now be the conclusion to our Big Forgotten Realms Discussion! The guys recorded last week's and this week's in a major marathon session, so consider this a VERY freeflowing continuation of Forgotten Realms 2.

Hey DMNs! Podcast will be up in a moment, but I've just been authorized to show y'all our preview page for the Kickstarter! Not everything is up yet- still missing our design promos and video, but everything else is there for those who are interested. Feel free to leave comments on anything you have questions about (or any errors you might see!) Hope you think it's as badass as we do.

Hey DMNs! Emma here, wondering if you can help me with something while at the same time helping y'all out too!
I'm wondering if y'all have questions about the upcoming kickstarter and if I can answer them for you! This is because a) we care about making sure we make ourselves and our info available to you at all times and b) I'm trying to stay ahead of the curve and start constructing a Q&A before we launch the project, and we thought who better to ask what you wanna know more abo...

Hello DMNs! Over the weekend, Kickstarter approved our project to fund Worlds of Web DM: Weird Wastelands, and the pre-launch page is live! That means you can follow it and get a notification the second it goes live.
The more followers we have, the more the algorithm will bless us on launch and make our project more visible. Please follow the project! Even if you don't plan on backing, a follow will do SO MUCH to help it succeed. Thank you all!

Happy Friday DMNs! We're back with a fresh new podcast! It's a Jim'n'Emma, as Pruitt has taken some exhaustion levels following his second vaccine dose. He's on the mend now, but he had to take some extra long rests to get there.
But we've got a fun one anyway! We begin with a small discussion about characters on the Simpsons, which gives way to Emma's controversial opinion on the popularity of nerdy media to begin with, we answer a great patron question, and then we get to the meat of ...

Hey Poople!
Emma here. Apologies that this is up late, today was a day of mind-blowingly exciting meetings - no hyperbole on that, I'm being 100% series - but here it is!
This week's show is all about avoiding lore dumps and presenting the info about your world in more useful and accessible ways, plus two more questions from you fine upstanding DMNs!
Enjoy. Tell us what you think. And have a great week!
TGIF, DMNs! How's it going for you? We've got a fun one for you today - as promised, we're discussing THE FORGOTTEN REALMS. Honestly, we could do a ten part series on it, as we really just start to scratch the surface. We're talking about the history of the many iterations of it, how it came to be, how it's changed, and what we like about it.
Do you wanna hear more about FG?? If so, leave us a comment!
Here's some quick time stamps for y'all:

Hey all! Here is this week's ad-free podcast for y'all - we're following up our forest show with swamps and wetlands! Boggy, boggy places filled with strange, horrible, and heartbreaking things. Enjoy! Tell us what you think of it!
We do cut all the ads out of these shows, including the sponsor, but we did wanna mention to y'all that we are a stretch goal for this week's sponsor - Grim Hollow: The Monster Grimoire. So, if you get in on the project you'll be getting some Web DM designs...
Hail, DMNs! We've got a fun one for you today - it was Pruitt's birthday this week (HAPPY BIRTHDAY PRUITT!!!) so he was out for some R&R, and Emma stepped in to answer some of your great questions with Jim. We ended up digging into these Q's pretty deeply, so there are fewer than we normally cover in a similar amount of time. But we had some really big ones!! Here's time stamps:
0:00-19:32 Opening banter, Pendragon update, and the rugged individualism of D&D

Happy Friday DMNs! It is a good one - Web DM is officially like 2/3rds vaccinated! Jim hits 2 weeks post-final-dose soon, and Pru and Emma are awaiting their second shots. Woot!

This week we're answering some questions from the new massive and wonderful crop you asked recently! We hope you like the answers, and if you have more, let us know. We keep track of all...
Hello Patrons! Hope you're all doing well. Emma here, and in part of our work in promoting the Kickstarter project for our new book is all about reaching out to others and seeing where we might do some appearances, which leads me to where you can help me brainstorm!
What other TTRPG content do you watch/listen to? Preferably non-AP but AP is fine too. What else do you like? Who else speaks to your nerdy soul?
Thanks!
Edit: Also BLOGS!

Hey there DMNs! Here is your ad-free audio for this week's show. I (Emma) am late in getting it to you, please accept my apologies. Got my first shot this week and, much to my surprise, when they tell you "you may not be able to complete your daily activities due to side effects" even on the first dose...they were right. But today is a new day, with a new podcast, and therefore we rejoice.
Please enjoy this one, all about the SCOUNDREL archetype. It's certainly one of our favorite conc...

Hello Web DMNs! This podcast magically posted without a description, perhaps because Patreon knew that we are talking about the fundamental nature of magic as it exists not only in D&D but other TTRPG as well. In the sense of what they reveal about the universe the game exists in, what ARE spells? What ARE spell slots? Because when you get into it...it's weird!!
Main topic begins around 17:00. Before that the guys are talking about a beautiful dog and beautiful games they've playe...
Hey there DMNs! Today we've got our show audio for y'all all about the DMs Guild supplements we really actually enjoy and use! We know it can be a jungle out there, so we put together a list of things that pass our muster.

We get asked all the time for recs on what to pick up from DM's Guild, so when they asked us if we'd like to do a video with them, we jumped at the chance! There's so much out there and it can be hard to know what to pick up, but some creators o...
Hey y'all!
So clearly there's something up with the coupon code we got for patrons. I've contacted the guild to see what's up and what we can do.
There is a code that went live today that's paired with our video this week and I just confirmed it does work:
www.dmsguild.com Use WEBDMGUILD to get 15% off $15 or more on creator pdfs now through 4/12/21
Go to town y'all! I apologize for the inconvenience and we'll see if we can get a functioning patron code for y'all...
Hey there DMNs! We're back with a brand new podcast for you. I wanted to let you know that I almost named it "Froggy F*ck Gods and Torture Boners" but thought better of it for the sake of your podcasting apps...but those of you reading the description, now you know.
Emma's back on this one! That's me who is writing this. Hi! Our schedules were wacky, and so we recorded a deep dive on three of your questions, two of which were addressed directly to me and one which dovetailed very nicel...
Hello Web DMNs! Hope you're well. HEre's your ad-free audio version of this week's show - it's about failure! And we've got a couple of your questions at the end, too. Check it out!
Description from public pod:
Failure is a part of all tabletop roleplaying games, but sometimes, let's be honest, it's a boring and frustrating part. This week, we discuss ways to make failure more interesting and more useful, and give you some food for thought about when its actually best to fail.&...
What's up DMNs! How are you? Is the spring being kind to you? Or, if you are on the other side of the world from where the Web DMiplane is in synchronous orbit, are you loving the fall? We hope you are well.
