The Advanced RPG Beginners Guide to Becoming a Dungeon Master

An Easy-to-Digest Collection of Knowledge for New Game Masters

De: Eric Heim, Alexander Cosic

Narrado por: Will Rixon

Welcome Adventurer! Are you a purveyor of RPGs? Only ever been a player? Want to experience the mystery behind the DM’s screen? Is your current Game Master begging for a break? Or are they just the worst, and you’re sure you’ll do better?

Well, then, your quest toward greatness starts here! Join me and my council of sorcerers as we guide you on the treacherous journey to becoming a Dungeon Master!

We believe everyone has the potential to be a brilliant DM, and have taken it upon ourselves to carve you a path to greatness. Whether you’re entirely new to RPGs, a veteran player who wants to try their hand at running a game, or just someone who wants to drag their friend group into the magical world of role-playing, this audiobook has it all for you!

We scoured the realm, consulting the wisest elders the world has to offer, gathering their ancient wisdom and combining it into this accessible tome of knowledge. Elders such as Eric, who has two art degrees and nothing to show for it, Alex, who has an unhealthy obsession with doing impressions at the most inopportune moments, and Ema, a beautiful, brilliant woman, perfect in every way…aside from her decision to marry Alex.

If you’ve ever dreamt of running a campaign but felt too intimidated to try, or if you’ve been behind a DM screen before but want to hone your craft, this is the audiobook for you. Just remember, this is not a mere rulebook—it’s a guide for making your game enjoyable, memorable, and uniquely yours.

Enter the Dragon’s Den and Begin your Quest!

Dungeon Mastery Awaits!

This has everything you need, all in one book. It is a very entertaining read as well. I highly recommend for anybody who loves dungeons and dragons.

Understanding the game.

One day, my husband brought back a game and said, "This is what we’re going to do." I stared at the box, completely blank—I had no idea what I was getting into. I had played video games and board games before, but this? This was something different.

At first, I just followed along, rolling dice when told and trying to keep up with the story. But the more we played, the more I got hooked. Then came the moment when someone had to step up as the Dungeon Master. I never thought that would be me. Running the whole game? Keeping track of rules, characters, and storylines? No way. But somehow, I found myself behind the screen, and that’s where this audiobook came in. It didn’t just explain the mechanics—it showed me how to make the game fun for everyone. If you’ve ever been handed a rulebook and felt lost, this audiobook makes it all click.

Can't wait to give it a go!

I am both looking forward to and nervous for my first try at DMing. I believe this was helpful.

A Great Companion for First-Time Dungeon Masters

I’ve always loved tabletop RPGs but was intimidated by the idea of running my own game. This made the whole process feel approachable. The explanations are clear, and they cover everything from world-building to handling unexpected player choices. The advice on improvisation has been a game-changer for me. I was worried about keeping sessions engaging, but the practical tips helped me build confidence fast. If you're new to DMing and want a guide that doesn’t overwhelm you, this is it!

Great for beginners

This guide breaks down the main responsibilities of a game master in a friendly, approachable style that won’t overwhelm new readers. The sections on encounter design and pacing come across as straightforward, so beginners can grasp the concepts without hassle. This is a genuinely useful tool. It offers practical tips, a lighthearted tone, and plenty of insights, with writing that’s engaging and humorous—far from a dull, textbook-style manual.
