@ChrisPerkinsDnD about to DM a game for my friend and his girls (6 & 9), I’d appreciate any tips.

Give each of the girls a magic wand made from a unicorn horn. If they ask what happened to the unicorns, just smile. https://t.co/4HQjJgAjUa

Players and Dungeon Masters!
Could be a long speech but it’s gold. Master Chris is a volcano eruption: you can hear rumbling from past editions, passion, dungeon mastering formulas and the next adventure setting… Ravenloft maybe?
Here the full audio speech:

We are trying to sell products that 100 percent of our fans are going to want to use.

We wanted to go to the nostalgia well again with rage of demons and resurface all the demon lords that we liked of old.
— Gamehole Con (@GameholeCon) November 7, 2015
One of the things we are going to be doing in the future is looking at some of our other worlds.

We want to balance the mood of each story so they stand on their own and we don’t stay in “edgy dark” D&D territory for 3 years.
— Gamehole Con (@GameholeCon) November 7, 2015
At this time we are working on 4 stories. Two for next year and two more in a fairly advanced state.
— Gamehole Con (@GameholeCon) November 7, 2015
We do have an upcoming story that does go back to a past adventure. Doesn’t feature dragons.
— Gamehole Con (@GameholeCon) November 7, 2015
Giants have always been classic D&D monsters. Always tricky from a digital game perspective because of size. You don’t want to fight legs.
— Gamehole Con (@GameholeCon) November 7, 2015
We’ve brought in many consultants which is new for us. We’ve looked at many new consultants including those that have never worked on D&D.
— Gamehole Con (@GameholeCon) November 7, 2015
We’re going to be changing up the 1-15 or so model for story arcs. Could be just low level, could be just high.
— Gamehole Con (@GameholeCon) November 7, 2015
One of our upcoming products is short, but tremendously replayable. You could play it 200 times and never have it be the same.

@ChrisPerkinsDnD Have you learned anything from DMing in front of a live audience?
— Michael Columbus (@Bropocalyptic) September 28, 2015
I've learned to keep my verbal descriptions short, and to let all the players have their moments in the spotlight. https://t.co/kVkRcdILCf

@ChrisPerkinsDnD In the AQI sessions, you seem to use certain accents for certain races. Do you maintain them through all your games?
— Auburn Elvis (@AuburnElvis) October 5, 2015
I have go-to accents for certain races (French drow, for instance). They serve me well for less serious games. https://t.co/DAkNhJ3g9v

@ChrisPerkinsDnD Do you ever play on the other side of the table these days, or just DM? If yes, what kind of characters do you enjoy?
— Scott Corpany (@DesertLeviathan) August 31, 2015
Yes. I like playing dimwits. (Not much of a stretch, I know.) https://t.co/5pb9qOy9Gl

@ChrisPerkinsDnD my boyfriend is about to start his first campaign as a DM and it's been a couple of years. Any tips or pointers? 🙂
— Lauren Shaye (@ShayeSlays) August 22, 2015
Remind him not to over-plan or get too attached to his villains! https://t.co/7gHV7yNCZx

@manofmysteryrmthe DMG custom monster rules confuse me. How do you calculate the offensive CR of an ability like gelatinous cube’s engulf it's more art than science, but as a rule of thumb I'd halve any future damage that can be avoided with a check or save
— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) August 11, 2015
@manofmysteryrm for something like the cube, its final CR quite likely owes more to playtesting than applying offensive and defensive CR
— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) August 11, 2015
@manofmysteryrmwhat do you mean by future damage? Ongoing effects like the engulf, or future as in how you calculate damage now on?
damage I might take because of something a critter did, but on my turn I have the chance to act to avoid it

@ChrisPerkinsDnD I've been a DM for the past 3 sessions with my friends, but I only started recently so any tips for beginner DMs?
— Saddie Sadsacks (@SaddieSadsacks) July 21, 2015
The more you DM, the better you'll get. Keep a DM's log of the party's wacky hijinks, for posterity if nothing else. https://t.co/AEMdc9zk8C
