Headmaster Thoughts
I was rushing. I need to take time to let the different locations settle into the senses to get a feel for the campus. Maps and visual aids will help, but that’s no excuse to skimp verbally.

This starts our play of Dungeon Academy, Daniel’s homebrew campaign framework in which you play students in dungeon-school, D&D Hogwarts with the serial numbers filed off. In this episode, we see what a Sunday morning at the academy looks like.
The players are new to this as well; so you’ll be learning the game as they do. There’s live game design, and you can see the process by which some of the mechanics are refined in play.
