Led by TTRPG veteran Amy Vorpahl, this hands-on DM workshop blends performance, storytelling, and live game design. Includes lifetime access to the DM School online video curriculum.
Long Description:
In this immersive three-hour workshop, TTRPG veteran Amy Vorpahl teaches you how to Dungeon Master with confidence, flexibility, and your creative identity intact.
You’ll identify your personal DM touchstones and put them into practice through guided performance exercises. Learn a clear framework for adapting prepared material on the fly, maintaining momentum without railroading, and making decisive calls that keep the story moving.
This class emphasizes being over optimizing—no rules lawyering, no critique-heavy feedback—just practical tools you can use at your very next table. Participants will both DM and play, gaining experience from multiple perspectives.
All attendees receive lifetime access to the DM School online video classes, making this workshop a lasting resource beyond the convention.
