[QUOTE="Hand of Evil, post: 2173273, member: 371"] You have to know your players and you as a DM have to know the types of games they will be interested in (questions to ask players before games). Players will always do something the DM does not expect, if a DM can get his plots down to a yes or no flow chart he is doing good and it is always a good idea to have two backup plans. You also have to think about presentation, so railroading does not work, what will get the players to the dungeon anyway? Little girl asking the players to find her mommy, who just happens to be in the same place, or a man with a big purse saying I am paying for orc heads there are here or the players get a letter from home saying your brother has disappeared in that dungeon! All, will get you to the dungeon, if you think railroading is not working you have to turn it around so your players think it is their idea and something else. What motavates your players to game? ;) [/QUOTE]
