Setting the Stage Episode 9 – Scraw and Gnomestones

I talked with Scraw about DMing and his campaign, Gnomestones. Scraw runs a 1st edition D&D game with only a few modifications (as everyone does). We chatted about system choice and how it affects your game. We talked about online resources that DMs can use to enhance their game or provide inspiration.

We referenced a few websites during the episode. You can check them out here:
The Thieves Guild
Fantasy Name Generators
DNDSpeak
Scryfall Random Cards

Scraw also has a few of his D&D sessions up on the Gnomestones YouTube if you’d like to get a deeper look.
