What to Spend $50 on For Your D&D Hobby

How to Be a Better DM: Dungeon Master Tips for the DM Newbie, the Hobbyist and the Forever DM

Welcome back to How to Be a Better DM

This is another RAW episode, which means more personality and less polish.

I'm your host today, Justin Lewis.

Today we talk about what I would spend $50 on to improve my D&D hobby.

This is my list:

1. A dungeon master screen
2. A new Sourcebook
3. A large tablecloth and some pipe cleaner
4. A lot of Foam and some paint
5. A set piece
6. Some LED lights
7. A simple sound system
8. Minis I guess
