Being a Dungeon Master can be a lot of work. But things don’t always go as planned which can be frustrating. So, is being the Dungeon Master worth it?

I’ve been playing D&D for a long time. But apparently, I’m not the only one. There is an ever growing number of Dungeons & Dragons players out there. But, how many D&D players are there worldwide? 

Many DMs have shy D&D players in their gaming group. Often shy players aren’t as active and engaged as their fellow party members. Whether you – the Dungeon Master – encourage shy players can impact the game drastically. So how do you encourage shy D&D players?

I’ve been playing Dungeons & Dragons for many years now. But the game has been around long before I got into this hobby. So when did Dungeons and Dragons become popular?

Last game night one of my players was absent and it really impacted the story in a negative way. So I wondered: What is the best way to deal with absent D&D players? I decided to do some research and write a helpful post on how to deal with missing players.
