My real world pace is SLOOOOOOWWWWWWW. I like to draw out the emotional experience, and have things have an impact. I KNOW it kills player engagement, sometimes. So now I try to keep focused, and really think about what needs to be included to give the impact I want, without taking 3 months to...

All great replies, love to see it, and in a lot of ways I can echo most of them! For me its creative: I can be a director, writer, actor, cinematographer, artist. If I could make a living at it, I'd rather not.

I like to do this, and think it is the heart of my job as a GM. I want the players to use their creativity to come up with a way to deal with what I throw a them, not figure out a puzzle. I don't think puzzles are bad, just not generally my cup o tea, since they require the players to figure out...

Well I'm serious about humor. I like to know what it is, and the bit I've learned is that jokes at someone else's expense aren't. And I learned that the hard way. They didn't consent to being the joke. And I think consent is funny.

it could also be a "Yes and" roll for it. I reject your framing of the conversation as only including (or being limited to "yes, but") additionally right after your post @FrogReaver notes that the conflation of yes = success was taken out of the equation. That is not the definition of "Yes" in...

Not surprisingly I disagree with you.

I think it would go something like this: Player: Can I kill the dragon with my sword? GM: yes, roll your Str + Dex + Sword of power (+1 bajillion) the TN is 2 Bajillion. Player: rolls 1.5 bajillion. Player 2: Can I make the dragon fall in love with me. GM: yes, roll your Cha + Dex +...

*Strictly speaking role playing games are not uncut Improv. in that case then always "saying yes" isn't something you can do unless you build the setting every time you play the game. like every session. if I'm playing Star Wars there are tropes that the players are going to expect go along...

I went through a very few VTTs. Maptools I think was one of the first ones I used. And then Roll20 appeared, and I have been a user since it started. I even remember thinking "Will this last?" and it did. While I rarely play games that require maps, now that I have jumped hard into Marvel...

im one Until online I never regularly gamed. And since I 've never gamed with "friends" so that aspect of it is not, and never has been, a focus for me. With online, as others have mentioned, I can run what I want, when it works for me. I have vague desires to play in person, but I won't...

They are so much fun. I wish they would do more. Here are some adventure synopsis from my current campaign: I am particularly proud of the one featuring Sun Wukong (This seemed like the good place to share it) Mobster Fire: the team, consisting of Fury (greek inspired) Prism (telekenetic)...

I have started to use it to help me write random event charts. And have been pleased with the assistance it has give me in that regard because my adventure prep has become basically goal + random events. This is a story technique called the interrupt routine (discussed in the Risus Companion and...

I think you are being unnecessarily hyperbolic, and provide no data to back up your assertions. I hope no one pays attention to this tripe* * apologizes to tripe, i hope someone likes you, I don't, but I am not going to say you are one of the worst designed foods just because I dont like you.

Ive run the game for close to a year by now and it is my favorite game. I've tried many supers games: Icons, Marvel TSR, Mutants andMasterminds (all editions), Champions NOW, Supers. What I dont like: NPCs are created exactly like PCs, and that can get overwhelming. By the time characters are...

i like this, I'll have to nab it. I like to have a direction for my campaign, and this will help. @Laurefindel I've found it very successful to write up my campaign pitches (I mostly play online with mostly new groups each campaign) as want ads. Basically I am looking for players who: (and then...
