This is the version that will air on Youtube this Monday. The original "director's cut" aired last Thanksgiving weekend. This one is shorter with more shots of models, many never seen before. Please watch again and comment on Youtube on Monday 12 noon EST. Thank you!

Excited to watch professor. Loved the original!

Great stuff as usual, Professor . I, too, find concise boxed text to be extremely helpful in keeping the action moving. If I have to come up with some witty and vivid sensory description on the fly, or worse, if I have to artfully weave in a plot point or clue, I tend to stammer and hesitate *A LOT*. Being able to fall back on a prewritten description of a scene or person, even if it’s just a couple bullet points, is like lithium grease on the narrative tracks. 😎

I teach screenwriting and my third rule of screenwriting is "Can you make it shorter?" That is where boxed text comes in for D&D. Keep it moving. Well done.

Dear Professor Dungeon Master: Fantastic breakdown of your process, with excellent GM tips and references. To quote an infamous princess: 'A beginning is a very delicate time. Know then...', your exhortation to use boxed text at the beginning to set the scene is great advice, one of the few times reading to your players is useful. I also liked the facing page DM notebook and I liked seeing the practical application of RPG theories from Justin Alexander, Tracy Hickman, and Runehammer. The highs and lows your players encountered during the adventure, their political shenanigans inciting the mob, and the stunning conclusion at the end are what makes for memorable role-playing sessions. The conclusion with a bang to set the stage for next time just added a cherry on the top. Oh Natasha, did you forget; the gods laugh when mortals make plans. It will be very exciting to learn about the fallout from Natasha inciting the mob, which is a capital crime in most locals, she gots some splain'n to do. There is A LOT of role playing from the potential consequences there. Now that the palace is blowed up, Minister Payne will probably have even more power to make Natasha and the party's lives miserable. Thanks for sharing. MrGunn

Inspirational as always. I recently ran a Blade Runner game and leaned heavily on your tips on pacing and investigation games. It was one of the most successful short sessions I've had in years.
