Announcing our first GM Clinic!

Come Join GnomeStew.com's Patrick Benson in a discussion of the finer points of managing the flow of the game... from combat to the spaces inbetween, how you keep your players at the table instead of getting up for a snack. Of course, there are always times for snacks too. That's why I'm bringing a case of the new Dungeons & Dragons Soda along...

We're gearing this one more towards intermediate level GMs, but people just starting out are welcome to come learn and people with experience are encouraged to offer their advice!

Podcasters and Bloggers welcome!

       Loads of fun! Patrick did a great job and brought a lot to the table. Great questions, and some great tips from experienced GMs. Looking forward to the next one in December or January. 
    • Entropy (+2 guests)
       I learned a lot about how to keep my game focused on the players and not railroad them into doing what the campaign demanded. 
    •  I thought the group was on point, easy to follow, great information, and very interesting! Patrick did a great job and brought a lot to the table.
