The Hidden Roles podcast is a weekly resource for dungeon masters, game masters, and storytellers for Dungeons & Dragons and all TTRPG systems. Each week, a guest DM let's you take a look at their side of the screen, revealing their tricks, strategies, and tactics for running a game, building a world, setting a mood, modding rules, and keeping their players engaged. This is for all dungeon masters, new and experienced. All are welcome.
