MEET OUR FOURTH SPEAKER: DM NICO

Becoming a Dungeon Master Workshop | Day 2 — Afternoon Session

Proud owner of three dragons (cats), unofficial rules-lawyer dodger, and DM of the three-year Ichor Campaign.

He’s spent hundreds of hours crafting intricate political schemes, deep lore, and emotionally devastating NPCs, only to watch his players spend 45 minutes losing a fight against an unlocked door.

His greatest DM skill? Making things up with enough confidence that nobody questions it.

Session: How to BS Your Game If You Have Nothing

Learn the art of improvisation, quick thinking, and managing the beautiful chaos that players bring to the table. Because being a DM means embracing the “yes, and…” mindset, surviving unexpected dice rolls, and knowing when to make things up as you go.

And no, writing “sexy goblin?” in your notebook doesn't count as preparation.

MEET OUR SECOND SPEAKER: DM DION!
Becoming a Dungeon Master Workshop | Day 1 — Afternoon Session

Every great adventure needs a place to begin. But what makes a simple settlement feel like a living, breathing world? The answer lies in the details—the people, the places, the secrets, and the stories waiting to be discovered!

Meet DM Dion Fernandez, one of Baguio’s active veteran Dungeon Masters and a TTRPG Game Master since 1997. With decades of experience across different game genres and systems, he's spent years exploring the art of running games and bringing worlds to life.

Now, he's bringing that experience to aspiring and seasoned Game Masters alike!

AFTERNOON SESSION: HOW TO MAKE YOUR FIRST SETTLEMENT

A village is never "just" a village. It's a blacksmith with a secret, an innkeeper with a rumor, a local legend nobody dares to question, and a quest waiting to pull your players into adventure.

In this session, DM Dion will take you into the nooks and crannies of worldbuilding, sharing veteran techniques and practical insights to help you build your very first settlement.

🗺️ Create places your players will want to explore.

👥 Populate your settlement with memorable NPCs.

📜 Add details, hooks, and local stories that make your world feel alive.

🧠 Pick the mind of a veteran who's been running TTRPGs for decades!

Whether you're preparing your first campaign or want to level up your worldbuilding, this is your chance to learn from years of experience.

Because a great campaign doesn't just need heroes. It needs a world worth saving.

MEET OUR FIRST SPEAKER: DM CHESTER!
Becoming a Dungeon Master Workshop | Day 1 — Morning Session

Every Dungeon Master starts somewhere. Before you can unleash dragons, build sprawling kingdoms, or send your party into a dungeon they probably shouldn't have entered, you need to learn the basics!

Meet DM Chester, a Dungeon Master since 2020, novice voice actor, and certified lore lover who enjoys crafting deep, story-rich worlds for players to explore. With character voices, unexpected twists, and plenty of bad jokes in his arsenal, he's all about bringing adventures to life around the table.

His DM philosophy? FUN FIRST, RULES LATER!

For his session, Beginner DM Crash Course, DM Chester will walk aspiring Dungeon Masters through the essentials:

What Is D&D? — Discover the magic of collaborative storytelling and rolling dice to shape your adventure.

What Does a DM Do? — Learn how to guide the story, bring NPCs to life, and keep the adventure moving when players inevitably do something unexpected.

The Bare Minimum — Find out what you actually need to run your first game without drowning in rulebooks and preparation.

Starting Your First Game — Get ready to take the DM seat, bring your players together, and launch your very first adventure!

Got wild ideas? Questionable plans? A character concept that makes absolutely no sense? DM Chester welcomes them all!

This is your chance to learn the fundamentals, embrace the chaos, and discover that you don't need to know everything to begin your DM journey.

🧙 Four speakers. Two days of learning. Your first step behind the screen.
