AD&D - Let's talk Theater of the mind

The Evil Dungeon Master Universe

Today on the podcast, I'm talking Theater of the Mind—the old-school, no-map, pure-imagination way to run your tabletop RPGs. Some love it, some hate it, but for me? It’s one of the best ways to keep the game fast, cinematic, and immersive. I’ll break down how to run a killer game without needing a battle map, give some practical tips for describing action so your players stay engaged, and explain when it works best (and when maybe you should break out the minis). If you want your fights to feel like something out of a comic book panel rather than a grid-based chess game, this episode is for you.
