I allow a lot of PC freedom allowing them to go their own ways and choose not to do things, or to over reach themselves and face the realistic resulting consequences. Even though I mostly use modules for my adventure ideas, I don't force railroading and characters can and have found ways to go against standard module routes (they joined the slavers at one point).I work at making sure everybody has some on stage time so that quieter PCs still are part of every game.PCs feel competent in their areas of expertise and as a group they find things both above (very scary) and below (when they feel powerful) their power levels.I create a pretty good atmosphere of mystery and the supernatural to magic in the game. There is always a lot out there that can not be taken for granted and characters are kept engaged and aware.Having things well described and having things make sense in game and work logically go a long way to making a good game IME.</blockquote>
