Subtopics[]

Over the course of the series, Matt delved deeply into several sub-topics. These included building a campaign setting live, recapping D&D games he was running at the time, and waxing poetic on the history of the game itself.

Collabris[]

In May of 2016, Matt began live streaming on Twitch with the goal of creating a D&D campaign setting live. This would show new game masters how to create worlds for their own personal games. During the stream, Matt would solicit input from the audience. This setting, known as Collabris, became a shared campaign world for many of his viewers.
