About The Spontaneous DM

Robert Peake

My name is Robert Peake. I started playing Dungeons & Dragons as a Dungeon Master back in the 1980s. Returning to the game as an adult, I have been discovering new ways to make preparing for sessions quick and effective, and to allow for as much spontaneity and surprise as possible during the game.

Through my YouTube channel and DMs Guild books, I share what I have been learning about becoming a more spontaneous DM, and help players understand what makes DMs happy. I also play self-contained one-shot adventures with my friends, which we record and release as video and audio podcasts.
