Stop Lore Dumping in D&D: Let Players Discover Your World

#dnd #dndtips #dungeonmaster

Revealing lore in a D&D campaign doesn’t have to overwhelm your players. In this video, I talk about how to share your world’s history, factions, secrets, and mysteries at a pace that keeps everyone engaged without turning the session into a lore dump. I show how I treat lore as something players discover through action, why timing matters, and how thoughtful pacing can create bigger moments of excitement and surprise at the table.
