**---Ask The Bellhop/The Bellhop’s Tabletop---00:07:46**
Tonight we're going to remind everyone that tabletop doesn’t just mean board games to us, with an RPG topic. 

Sean: today’s question comes from Bent McBride the owner of Hidden Trail Escape Rooms down in Windsor. Brent asks:

“I have almost no experience in playing D&D or any role playing games but I think I would have a blast being a DM eventually. What's the fastest path to getting to be a solid DM?”
