Yes! Rules are there to help us have fun. There's no need to get too wrapped up in technicalities in the moment!

This is so true! A GM's planning is the foundation, but it's the player's choices that really bring a world and story to life. 💯

This is a fantastic tip! Feedback is an underrated, but incredibly value, tool for GMs. If you've ever worried your players aren't having a good time, the best way to find out is to ask openly and honestly!

Creating a quick reference sheet (or finding one online) is another great way to remind yourself of what you've read! Rulebooks can be a lot, but the more you play the easier it'll be. 💯

And sometimes, messing up can be what makes a session so memorable! Roll with the punches, you never know where you'll end up. 😊

This is a great tip for keeping the stakes low and the first session fun! It's way easier to learn rules as you're playing, than trying to memorize an entire book. 😊

You can use Fog of War to manually hide and reveal areas of your map as players explore.
This lets you control the pace of exploration, and still lets you hide fun surprises in your dungeons.

Bonus Pro Tip: You can use transparent walls to control movement without blocking vision.
Set a wall to transparent, then enable "Restrict Player Movement."
This is useful for traps, force fields, magical barriers, or areas you don’t want players to rush past!

Pro GM move: Use One-Way walls to take maps to the next level. 😎
They let players see into a space from one direction—but not the other.
This is perfect for:
● Cliffs
● Balconies
● Multi-level buildings
● One-way mirrors
