The Stages of a RPG Team’s Development
I've been reading the archive over at Musings of the Chatty DM, a gaming blog by Philippe-Antoine Ménard. There's a lot of cool stuff on there - especially a series that compares gaming groups to those in the workplace. Here are links to the related articles:
(1) Introduction
(2) Forming
(3) Storming
(4) Norming
(5) Performing
(6) Stagnation
Originally, there were only four stages, but Phil added Stagnation after the fact. If you just read the stages, it kind-of feels like DABDA, the five stages of dealing with death.
Anyway, I'd be interested in hearing what you think about the series.
