Prep and Presence

Prep & Presence is the workshop for dungeon masters who want to run better games. Every session you run is a craft — and like any craft, it can be practiced, sharpened, and made to feel easy.Each episode takes one real skill — hooking your table in the first five minutes, building a world that feels alive, writing a villain whose plan actually matters — and turns it into something you can use at your very next session. You'll get the core principle, examples from the table, and practical takeaways at two levels: a starter move anyone can try tonight, and a level-up for veterans who want to go deeper.It's made for D&D dungeon masters of every kind — whether you're prepping your very first session or you're two hundred deep into a campaign. New episodes every two weeks, hosted by Soren Blackwell.Independent and unofficial; made by and for DMs.
