    Which are you, The plan everything out GM, or the Ad lib?

    A lot depends on the system, and the style of game I want to run. There are some games where you have to ad-lib, that are very player lead, such as "Kingdom".

    ChatGPT lies then gaslights reporter with fake transcript

    I've been using it a bit, and I don't know if it's because I'm British, but it's constant need to tell me how wonderful and excellent my suggestions are is annoying and clearly insincere. It has completely the opposite effect from what is intended.

    Why do RPGs have rules?

    What? Dying was the best part. Going down in a blaze of fire was half the fun, you guys were clearly playing it wrong.

    D&D General GMing and "Player Skill"

    Funny notes on a recent scenario I wrote, for dealing with the main villian at the end.. "There are multiple ways to deal with the Schattenkind, and you are encouraged to take on board any suggestions the investigators come up with." Basically they will have hopefully researched and discovered...

    Tips and Tricks to Running a Con Game

    Yeah it is something I've experimented with when running Monsterhearts at a convetion, but not something I would use in every game, even in Call of Cthulhu or more horrific games. I just find the level of maturity among players is such that it isn't need at the convention I regularly attend.
