The DM Lair makes weekly videos with information and resources to help game masters run awesome games. I've been GMing on and off since 1996, most notably running D&D 2e, 3.5e, 5e and Pathfinder 2e games. I currently run four games: D&D 5e x2, Shadowdark, and No Quarter. My goal is to share the knowledge and experience I've obtained over the years to help other GMs level up their games.
