First, Look! We are kinda back on schedule… posting in the month we record in :-P. As of last month, 1d4cast is a year old, so thank you for all of our listeners for giving us encouragement :). This month we go back to our GM Toolkit series and talk about world building. Whether you realize it or not, as a GM/DM/ST, you are always building your game’s world. We hope that the tips, storys, and advice within helps you in the journey :).

Secondly, thanks goes out again to Paul, Henry, and Anthony for joining us!
