Such a fun time to be in the hobby with so many people eager to give it a shot.

I hope they find their doorway into this wondrous and ludicrous endeavor.

Player Fudging

Some day I won't have to talk about dice fudging...

Some day.

I'd want to talk to the player and figure out where this is coming from; it is not a popular response.

"Why are you scared of dice results, my friend?"

Oubliette

Finding a sub-genre of GM advice in which I beg rookie GM's to not keep the game concept a secret in hope of some kind of Big Reveal...

I really like this game concept - run with it, share it, let the players buy in during chargen.

The Lost Priest is so damned cool.

They are cool.

Could also be that the problem is I shouldn't be the one to make this joke.

There's a joke about licky boom boom down and I just can't put it together.

But I need to acknowledge that it is there.
