02/02/22 • 52 min

Guy Sclanders is a seasoned TTRPG content creator who has recorded thousands of hours of Youtube content, written books, and created his own games and supplements for other games. Guy is an incredible improvisor who comes up with characters at the drop of a hat and has dozens of accents at his disposal to make the characters come to life. I’ve been watching his videos for years, and am really excited to have him on as a season two guest. https://www.greatgamemaster.com/dm/ (How to be a Great GM Website) --- Help me support local LGBTQ+ Youth https://encircle2020.squarespace.com/ (Learn More About Encircle)! 🏳️‍🌈 HN2DM Links https://linktr.ee/hn2dm (How Not to DM Patreon, Affiliate Links, Guest Spots, and more!)
