    Do you fall into this trap?

    Two points here, 1. conflict does not just equate to an encounter. Plenty of conflicts are not resolved through combat. Additionally, as an aside, antagonists are not always villains or evil. 2. "You don't have conflict if the PCs walk away from it." - Absolutely you can. Conflict is...

    Do you fall into this trap?

    I would say that the way of prep I am encouraging isn't quite that extreme. Let's consider a campaign module, SKT. Without spoiling anything, the campaign has a story. The campaign has hooks for the players (whatever your group's motivators are). The campaign has conflicts, that occur regardless...

    Do you fall into this trap?

    Ok, I see what you are saying here, and I get it. You want to make sure you are prepared, which for some GMs is paramount as the feeling of being unprepared is something that turns their insides. But perhaps we can look at it this way: You can still prepare, but have no idea how your players...

    Do you fall into this trap?

    What is this wizardry?

    Do you fall into this trap?

    This is something I have been trying to work harder and harder on. If you NPCs/Villains have real motivations, that you understand, you can be more and more flexible with your game I feel.

    Do you fall into this trap?

    I think that's fair. Though admittedly that is supposed to fall under option #2. Option 1 is I'm going to throw a plot hook at the players... ok now that that's done, let's make a monster.

    Do you fall into this trap?

    Maybe we can take that as a good sign, right?

    Do you fall into this trap?

    Hey guys, I recently created a video, HERE where I talk about the trap of trying to write stories vs simply creating conflicts. I was curious how many of us actually purely create conflicts with no idea how players will solve them vs trying to predict how players will handle a problem in order...

    WotC Being Sued By Magic: the Gathering Judges

    After reading through some of the posts... I see a few people have mentioned that the laws were in place to protect volunteers from being abused. While I still believe WotC can scrape together enough money to pay these guys at least minimum wage (what a slap in the face that would be for the...

    WotC Being Sued By Magic: the Gathering Judges

    My initial reaction... is that the judges should probably be paid, all laws aside. I mean I had a highschool friend over 10-12 years ago that made $15 an hour just to ref some 6 year olds while they played soccer, so my OPINION is surely WotC could scrape together some funds for these guys-- at...
