The Advanced RPG Beginners Guide to Becoming a Dungeon Master

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

By: Eric Heim, Alexander Cosic

Narrated by: 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.

Fantastic guide!

I absolutely loved Advanced Beginners Guide to Becoming a Dungeon Master! As someone who’s dabbled in D&D but always felt intimidated by the idea of running a campaign, this book was exactly what I was looking for. The author breaks everything down in a super approachable way, giving practical tips without making it feel overwhelming. I especially like the advice on storytelling, managing players, and improvising when things don’t go as planned. The tone is fun and engaging, making it feel like a seasoned DM is guiding you through the process. If you’re looking to level up your Dungeon Master skills, this audiobook is an excellent resource!

The way to dm/gm of rpg games can be accomplished and can also be fun!

I First of all I loved the narrator as he added a lot with his amazing reading style! The book itself helps you as a prospective Dm follow along and take the steps necessary to be effective, yet also create and amazingly fun game for you and especially your players!! I have been rpg gaming for years and a lot of their tips and tricks I have seen many a DM put to practice. I would very much like to suggest taking advantage of this amazing informative book.
