In this episode, HD reveals his evolution from player to Dungeon Master—a role he swore he'd never take on because "it was boring not to be the hero." Now, he's discovering the creative power of building worlds rather than just inhabiting them. Together, we break down HD's current campaign, including half-orc rogues stealing socks from elderly goblins, a dragonborn paladin who secretly hates orphans, a drow bard who befriends a captive bear, and a muscular wizard who favors muscle over magic.  Ready to roll for initiative on your D&D adventure?
