What You’ll Learn

You’ll learn brand new DM mechanics through narrative instruction via a story-based D&D campaign set in a generic medieval fantasy land moving you through Levels 1–3 over 10 story episodes.

How to be a DM

  • Safety Tools

    • The concrete mechanics that tables use to keep play comfortable for everyone. In this course, these aren't a side lecture; they're taught through the story, so you see them used in context before you ever have to run them yourself.

  • Improv

    • Basic “yes-and”, scene-building, and "how to keep a scene moving when a player does something you didn't plan for" — the skill of staying responsive instead of freezing or railroading.

  • Repair

    • What to do after something goes wrong at the table.

  • Check-ins

    • Regular, structured moments — mid-session or between sessions — where you, the DM, ask how things are landing for players.

  • Community Building

    • The bigger-picture skill of how you get players to feel like they're part of something, not just attendees.

Soft Skills Focus

This course is explicitly welcoming to women, nonbinary, and under-represented players. You’ll be learning how to DM surrounded by a supportive and welcoming instructor and community.

Safe and Welcoming

  • D&D can be so intimidating to play, let alone learn. Becca did such an incredible breaking it down not only step-by-step for process but also in a way that made it easy for me as an AuDHD individual. Made my brain go bzzzzzzzz ¨̮ Becca is such an engaging and lively instructor. I highly appreciated the concrete examples provided and knowledge checks to make sure I was tracking along the way. I’ve been impatiently waiting to be able to refer any and everyone who has asked me where they can learn how to DM!!

    Crystal Britt, LCSW 

  • Before I took this class, D&D was a complex mass of rules I didn’t understand, and I was never sure what I was allowed to do as a player. Now, I love building new characters, writing stories, and run my own games for friends and my kids! This course is empowering, and breaks down essential information in a way that is friendly, and has unlocked new levels of creativity for me.
