In this video, we dive into the two main reasons that may be causing a decline in people willing to take on the role of a DM. Learn about overpowered and broken character options that can disrupt the balance of a campaign and how a lack of tools and resources for DMs can make the job challenging. This video is a must-watch for all D&D and RPG fans looking to understand the current state of the game and how we can work together to address the dungeon master shortage. 5e DnD Has a DM Crisis (Questing Beast) https://youtu.be/Tr5gtvvkTe4 How to Solve the 5e DM Crisis Once and for All (Dungeon Craft) https://youtu.be/uoqJL2_Nqyc DISCLAIMER: We at the DM Lair no longer support Wizards of the Coast due to the unconscionable and, frankly, malicious actions by their senior leadership with respect to the Open Gaming License (OGL). However, we still love D&D and RPGs, and we remain dedicated to helping the community, particularly game masters. So, while you will see videos that talk about D&D and 5e resources, the reason we create them stems from our desire to continue providing support for GMs who continue to run D&D for their groups. To be clear, there is nothing wrong with D&D; there is something wrong at WOTC. And it is the latter that we take a strong stance against. The DM Lair team still loves D&D; we still love the community. (It's WOTC's senior leadership that doesn't.)
