Welcome back to another episode of World Forge listeners!  This week we decided we would talk about our approach to introducing new players to DnD and create a great starter adventure to show off some of the best things DnD has to offer.  We will actually be using the adventure we created on air this week in our next session with some DnD newcomers, so we'll be sure and update you on how all that goes next week.

We also talk quite a bit about some of our advice for how to help make playing and running DnD games a little more fun and accessible for newcomers.  We also share some of our favorite pieces of advice that you all shared with us on twitter, this episode is chock full of pearls of wisdom!

And we've actually got 3 great rec room recommendations for you all this week too:

Firstly, we really just wanted to say playing DnD with new players can be a great way to grow as a player or as a DM, and we absolutely recommend you take any chance you can to do so.  We all benefit from seeing new perspectives and hearing new ideas, and it's important that we help make the DnD community a friendly and welcoming place.

Piper also wanted to recommend a really great new show produced by National Geographic that just started streaming on Hulu: Barkskins.  It tells the story of early settlers in the Pacific Northwest, and the drama surrounding the settlement of New France.

And finally, I wanted to recommend a cute little city management game I picked up on the Steam Summer Sale called Kingdoms and Castles.  It's a really straightforward game without a ton of bells and whistles, but I often find strategy and management games to be great sources of inspiration for the day-to-day stuff that happens around my players when they're in town or traveling near large groups of people.
