I asked a friend of mine: a soldier - a serving officer of the armed forces, recently back from an operational tour about how tactical training can be applied to DnD and other TTRPG's, and what we as game masters can learn that we can apply to our next game.

To be very clear, I am not and never have been in any military organisation. All the advice given here is from my soldier friend who carefully reviewed the script and final recording for accuracy of the terminology as well as the overall strategies mentioned.

There is deliberately no mention of ongoing armed conflicts in this video, and I will be keeping an eye on the comments to make sure the discussion stays firmly in the realm of the imaginary.

This is a space for DnD and TTRPG's. The internet is a big place and full of opportunities for folks to share their views on conflicts, but this isn't it.

I love seeing comments, but please play nice!
