How to Run an Engaging Session || DM Pacing pt. 2

The most important skill a DM can have is keeping a strong pace when running #DnD sessions. The best way to know you’re keeping a good pace is to make sure your players are engaged. Engagement and excitement let you identify the rhythm in your DnD sessions, and helps keep the action moving forward. In this video, I go over a few high-level concepts that dungeon masters can keep in mind to help get the story to flow across the table.

In this video I go over:

Abstraction 2:02
Challenge and Expertise 5:11
Slow Rhythm 6:47
Pulling Others In 8:59
Observe and Control 10:38


This is the second video in a series about how to pace your dungeons and dragons game. The first one was about making combat more exciting by making it flow. The next one will be for DMs with tips on how to pace a campaign. Maybe I’ll make one more with a lot of pacing tips on how to run DnD, like just a list of tips that we’re not covered in this vid.
