October is here.

be forgiving. Trust me. Be upfront. Some say, "Never let them see you sweat. That is BS. Be vulnerable. Tell them before the session, "Be patient, still learning the rules, or didn't prep as much as I wanted." You will find they just want to share a fun and exciting game--flaws and all.

After 45 yrs of being the 'world architect' GM (knows every detail about the world/scenario), I have found less prep is just as entertaining/fun to me & players. The world builds itself as we play. I get stuck on an NPC name, species, etc, I ask the players to help--they love it. Never has a....

As a GM, I read, absorb, video game npc chatter. I don't do speed runs or furiously gear chase.

A game needs, lore, story-good writing, art, and game play to keep my interest. Any game, ttrpg or video game.

Gardyloo [GAR-dee-loo]

priests commonly give guidance in how people should interpret these blessings and curses, and what measures need to be taken to benefit from a blessing or remove a curse.

Faith is prevalent throughout the Hinterlands, and none is tied to a specific ancestry, though several can be tied to a community.

Either: a) if PC successful, they narrate what happened and how it looks.
b.) GM adds flair and context.
c.) If failed, GM describes what occurred and consequences. This allows GM to flow right into the spotlight using the failed roll to make a move.

What does your group do to keep the flow?

GM David Bradley @d20dragontales.bsky.social · Sep 2

DOES OUR CREW ALWAYS FLOW SMOOTHLY? 🫣No.

But we set 'table etiquette' rules to facilitate smooth transition between narration and mechanics. 🛠️

1] We attempt to state name of trait, feature, or domain power before narrating a sequence of events
2] Roll duality dice... #ttrpg #rpg #criticalrole

personal point of view as to what the deed they are committed to will in the end be the good and right thing to do. From a cosmological perspective, good and evil does exist, but the judgment of good and evil actions is deemed so by other mortals, community, laws, and such.
