You don't need $200 of new rulebooks to run D&D. The free Basic Rules + SRD 5.1 from @dndbeyond.com cover about 90% of the game. Never DM'd before? Start there. You can add complexity later; taking it away is much harder. 🎲⚔️ youtube.com/shorts/YCgBw... #dnd #ttrpg #DungeonMaster

I appreciate the depth you went into with the background with the plot which allowed me to extrapolate a lot of little side adventures and have them remain connected. And yes, I love having a wide selection of choices for adventures to keep up with the wild unexpected decisions the players make.

Of course he list alone isn't the point, a pile of unadapted adventures is just clutter. New video walks the six-section method that turns any of them into something that fits your table. New video: youtu.be/ZaAqEFC4u1M #bargainbrew· #dnd #ttrpg #dnd5e

Here's the actual math on running D&D cheap: $17 across five sources gets you something like a thousand adventures so a specific shopping list, real prices, part of a season I'm running on $25 total. youtu.be/ZaAqEFC4u1M #dnd #ttrpg #bargainbrew

The best level 1 adventure I've run in years was written as advertising. WotC gives The Great Upheaval away to sell a book, which means it was built to do one job: get strangers through a good first session. My own openers were never built for that. They were built to establish a world.

Best campaign prep trick I know: tell your players the backstory is for them. It's actually for YOU. Here is a full session zero set up (house rules like Luck not Inspiration, buy-a-proficiency, a leveling rule that takes time on purpose). youtu.be/jteWjdZrTf4 #dnd #ttrpg #sessionzero #bargainbrew

I am slowly realizing how useful the new @fantasygrounds.com NPC finder in the My Library section is. It means I dont have to open all my NPC modules inside FG to find just the right one I need. Thank you!

The “buy a world or build one” choice is false. I bought a $5 island seed (Iskandar’s), expanded it with free generators Azgaar and @watabou.bsky.social, and got a pro setting’s logic without buying more than my table needs. twodollardm.com/blog/dnd-cam... #dnd #ttrpg #worldbuilding #bargainbrew

The "you need to buy the books" myth is the most expensive lie in this hobby. Free D&D Basic or SRD to run entire campaigns. Level Up A5E SRD is free too. Fateforge & Iskandar are $5ish pay-what-you-want if you want more. Here's all four, side by side: youtu.be/1-6EIVqR6Uk?... #dnd #ttrpg #dnd5e
