Mystical Runes

Hey, I'm a Dungeon Master. I build worlds!

JOURNAL is an ongoing Zine that aims to explain the processes I go through, the challenges my players throw at me, and the fun I have when creating a roleplaying campaign setting for tabletop or VTT play.
 
Whether you're a seasoned DM, or just starting out on a fantastic journey of the imagination: Journal offers loads of tips, tricks, advice, and guidance that should help you craft an RPG setting of your own.
