In Part One of this three part series, host and veteran DM Brian Flaherty guides Abby Hepworth (Twenty Sided Podcast, PureWow) as she begins to build a western themed one-shot for her very first time behind the DM screen.
My First Dungeon is the tabletop role-playing podcast where we put first-time DMs through their paces as we build and run their first adventure and then circle back around to discuss what went right, what went wrong, and how they can make their game better.
