Course: Campaign Building
This course provides Dungeon Masters with a comprehensive framework for designing and managing memorable and exciting long-form Dungeons & Dragons Campaigns. Emphasizing narrative structure, the course focuses on four key pillars: meta-narrative construction, faction and NPC development, campaign pacing, and the integration of player agency. DMs will learn to craft compelling long-term story arcs, maintain narrative consistency across sessions, and create dynamic factions and NPCs that evolve in response to player choices. Practical tools and guided workshops help DMs structure campaigns that are emotionally engaging, narratively coherent, and responsive to emergent gameplay. Rooted in the tradition of narrative-driven storytelling, this course equips participants to design enduring Campaigns that honor the legacy of immersive roleplay while fostering creative innovation.
Taught with Amanda Hamon
