Watching Dungeons and Drag Queens is a great reminder that Brennan spent decades going to and then volunteering at a larp camp for kids
He’s got patience for days, a “yes and” attitude that can’t be beat, he explains everything gently and simply without being condescending, and he specifically teaches in a way that encourages creativity and discovery and celebrates joy

Hey any Philly D&D people on here! Do you know of any good groups and/or game shops that run D&D games for beginner beginners. Literally never played a day in their life beginners?
