About This Podcast

Welcome, traveler! Name's Alaric, Keeper of the Hearth, and this has been my favorite stool for over a decade. I've seen green adventurers become legendary heroes, and I've seen Dungeon Masters weave tales that would make the gods weep. In all that time, I’ve picked up a few simple tricks of the trade—little spells for a better story. That’s what "The DM's Cantrip" is all about: short tales and easy advice to help you roll dice and tell stories with confidence. So grab an ale, and let's talk shop. The DM's Cantrip is a TTRPG and Dungeons and Dragons podcast centered around teaching new players and DM's alike the tricks and tips of the game and sharing stories from my own table. Hope you enjoy!
