New to GMing? Wanna learn how to build compelling and engaging encounters?

In “Storytelling 101,” GM Connie discusses the fundamentals of narrative, breaking them down into three distinct parts, and offering suggestions about how best to design those parts — and put them together. They also discuss the classic trap of “story vs. situation” and which one you, as the GM, should prioritize.

Professor Chang’s Tabletop Workshop is a GM advice series flying under the Transplanar RPG banner. Transplanar’s main campaign is an ALL-TRANS, POC-led, 100% homebrew actual play set in a non-colonial, anti-orientalist world.

Follow us on Twitter, Instagram, and Youtube for funny clips, full campaign episodes, and archived Professor Chang’s lectures!

What makes a D&D villain complex? Compelling? And most importantly... sexy?

Can your GM do accents? Yes? Well, that’s one thing we don’t have in common... poor GM Connie...

WARNING: This video contains a horrific imitation of a southern and British “accent.” It has been described as the only legitimate act of racism against white people ever committed. Proceed at your own risk.......

If you like this kinda goofy content, why don’t you check out Transplanar RPG on Twitter, Instagram, Youtube, and Twitch? We our main campaign and our GM advice column (depicted above!) on rotating Saturdays at 3pm CDT!
