TES Dungeon Monitor Training Workshop Do you know a thing or two about dungeon safety? Have you had a less than perfect experience with a Dungeon Monitor at a party and thought, “I can do better”?

Please join us for our next Dungeon Monitor training workshop on Saturday, April 29th, from 7:00 to 10:00 pm at The Players Theatre, 115 MacDougal St, 3rd floor (after the Mindfulness in Rope Intensive with Zamil).

Part III: Scenario Roleplay and Discussion Lab 9:00 – 10:00 pm In this section, we will roleplay various situations you may encounter as a DM, many derived for real-life incidents.
