You don’t. D&D, like most role playing games, requires a Dungeon Master (Game Master or referee). There are “solo” adventure books that allow you to play through the story as a single player with no DM.
Q. Can you be both a DM and a player?
Yes, the DM can have a player character. As someone who frequently plays in very small groups (sometimes with only one other player), I often play a character whilst DMing. There are a few pitfalls to be aware of when you make what’s known as a GMPC (or more specific to D&D, a DMPC).
Q. Can you have two dungeon masters?
It is possible for two people to co-DM, whether that be a thing they do at the same time, or achieve by taking turns as the active DM for a session while the other plays a PC (which could also be shared, if desired).
Q. How do you run D&D without a DM?
Endless RPG: The Random Dungeon Generator for D&D 5e and Pathfinder 1e. Endless RPG was created to allow the flexibility to play without a dedicated DM by having an iPhone, iPad and Android device present a random adventure in a player-friendly manner.
Q. How do you double DM in D&D?
The best way to do this is to split up the DM duties to Storyteller and Adjudicator. Once person tells the story, and the other handles the rules. In combat the Storyteller will play most of the monsters, just like another player, while the Adjudicator manages the encounter, initiative, keeping everyone on task etc.
Q. What is the difference between a GM and DM?
Some games have their own name for that role — Dungeon Master is the term Dungeons & Dragons uses. It’s even a Wizards of the Coast trademark. (Yes, really.) Some games use “GM” for their actual official name for the role, such as Fate or Dungeon World.
