Matt Mercer smiling and Brennan Lee Mulligan talking, with a white line dividing them.

Few D&D Dungeon Masters world-round have grown to the level of stardom that Matthew Mercer and Brennan Lee Mulligan enjoy today. Their faces are plastered across billboards, and the people call out their names in a cacophony of frenzied whooping. But even said heralds of some of the best tabletop RPGs around are not immune to the bane that is imposter syndrome. I get it, you get it, it's a universal feeling that all of us have had some level of experience with.

The trick, according to Brennan, is to stay rooted in creative joy.
