Dungeon Masters First Take (Ep 1–2): Is this a Game Changer?

D&D just launched a new official actual play: Dungeon Masters. I watched Episodes 1 and 2 and this is my first take. This isn’t your typical YouTube actual play for D&D. The production is on a different level. But, does that actually make for better D&D, or change what the game feels like at the table? In this video I break down the production and what Wizards is doing differently, the DM performance and pacing, the players (acting vs game knowledge), whether this works as D&D and is it a game changer. Let me know what you thought of the premiere. Did it work for you? #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #dungeonmasters #actualplay #dndyoutube #dnd5e #ttrpg #dndcommunity #rpg #wizardsofthecoast #dndreview #actualplaydnd Dungeon Masters Actual Play Website https://www.dungeonsanddragons.com/dungeon-masters/ Dungeon Masters Actual Play Article https://www.dndbeyond.com/posts/2147-dungeon-masters-the-new-d-d-actual-play Strahd: Then and Now — Ravenloft vs Curse of Strahd - https://youtu.be/T23z9M40B60 What’s Inside the Curse of Strahd Tarokka Deck? | D&D Unboxing: Art of Character D&D Podcast Ep14 - https://youtu.be/IHbmbpB9hfE The Deck of Many Things Unboxing – Is the D&D 5e Boxed Set Worth the Hype? | Art of Character Ep21 - https://youtu.be/VqT6DKj15KU D&D Unboxings Playlist - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLufAqKH_haJ-U2RYfz-0OpOTkBogIa13G D&D Product Reviews Playlist - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLufAqKH_haJ-E-_lSHv7ONYFzeR2o-IrO Stranger Things D&D Playlist - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLufAqKH_haJ9WrTl7CfOn8JriJrnjsk2- Heroes of the Borderlands Playlist - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLufAqKH_haJ8URRtt8cp1AQf1aFKt8OKU Hit that like button!
