    Here's a new post from GitPG that I thought was very thought provoking and useful. It's one GM's list to himself of rules for running his games.

    Very good article, I enjoyed it quite a lot. It covers many rules and principles I use in my games.
    The past is a rudder to guide us, not an anchor to hold us back.

    A GM's list of list "uncommon" advice. Much of it is not uncommon to me, but still worth a read and consideration.

    I just saw you don't have DMDave.com and DMDavid.com (no relationship, just similar names).

    https://dmdave.com/ has daily posts with monsters, npcs, whole adventures, and is making a 5e magazine called broadsword via patreon.

    https://dmdavid.com/ has weekly posts with GM advice (mixed 5e and pathfinder) and some of the best and most fascinating D&D history I am aware of. Check these out:

    I've been doing a lot of GM prep lately as I've been trying to get ahead of the game for my Dragon Heist group, and I also happen to be a Patreon of The Alexandrian so the timing of the latest blog was pretty useful to me. If you want to take a step back from your prep, and consider how you might make it as efficient as possible, Justin has a very timely blog; https://thealexandrian.net/wordpress...hidden-toolbox

    Another YouTube GM advice channel I discovered a little while ago and have been binge-watching is The DM Lair: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCk9...jpLk134r55OUbg
    I very much like that most of his videos are only a few minutes long, so they tend to be concise and information-dense (while also more than a little goofy). He also has much longer-form live hang-out sessions on a weekly basis. They're very casual (he's sometimes painting a mini or brainstorming an adventure while also interacting with viewers) and you can drop into the live chat and ask questions.
