I like how often you and Mike Mearls seem to disagree too.
@MykroftHolmes @mikemearlsI like how often you two seem to disagree too. As codesigners, DMs, and friends, Mike and I share a deep love for D&D, as well as for debating its finer points!

@ChrisPerkinsDnD What would be a piece of advice you'd give to someone wanting to write down and flesh out their campaign setting?
— Mistle-Rose (@RoseArtemis) November 27, 2016
Start with a small geographical area, such as a village and environs, or an island. Avoid defining the whole world up front. #WOTCstaff https://t.co/SP0GKnI5pM

@ChrisPerkinsDnD Sitting down to do some writing; Do you start with history, or plot structure, when building a new adventure?

I write the adventure synopsis (summary) first and try to keep it brief. It helps me internalize the scope. Then I do maps. #WOTCstaff https://t.co/f9d4K3OiKC

@ChrisPerkinsDnD I'm first-time DMing for a group of two, one of which is a bard and the other undecided. Any words of wisdom as I build??

This is one time when starting the campaign in a tavern might be a good idea. Most bards are at home there. https://t.co/amZ9kArgP7

@ChrisPerkinsDnD I convinced my friend to try his hand at DMing but he isn't a confident person. How can I make the process easier for him?

Invite him to create a short adventure. Maybe let him borrow your DMG for a few days. Lots of inspiration there. https://t.co/MfyeTf0Hlz

@ChrisPerkinsDnD Whats the most common mistake or omission you think first time DMs make. Asking for a friend…
— Galen Osier (@Zobmie) November 15, 2015
Fretting about rules. Also forgetting to bring a change of underwear. https://t.co/dTdSWTsns3

@ChrisPerkinsDnD I'm giving my players homework tonight. Anything you think I should add? pic.twitter.com/3bXfxS9jiz

I'd actually trim down the list a bit. That's a lot to think about! https://t.co/DXF5vMx6ka

@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?

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.
— Gamehole Con (@GameholeCon) November 7, 2015
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.
