This week's episode starts with an announcement from Pruitt - while he is stepping back from YouTube for the time being, he is still very much a part of Web DM, and we love him and support him. Jim is still gonna be here bringing you Web DM Wednesdays, and while there is no replacing Pruitt or his puns, we look forward to exploring new ways to share our perspective on running and playing D&D and TTRPG with you! --Jim, Pruitt and CEO Emma

Pru chose this topic as his last one for now, and it's a great one: transitions between storylines in campaigns. How to craft arcs is something a lot of Game Masters think about, but how to flow from one to the next is an art not everyone masters. Here's how we do it!
