Roleplay Rescue

108 Curse of The Flaky GM


Listen Later

What if the reason your gaming group is collapsing is because the Game Master keeps cancelling the sessions?


In this final episode of Series 1, we talk about the barriers that stop a Game Master from getting a regular game off the ground and the strategies that I am starting to use to correct this problem. 


We learn about the Holy Trinity of game decisions that I believe lie at the heart of every successful roleplaying campaign. 


We finish by talking through the requirements for an Open Table and I share a worked example. I also discuss strategies for prepping and some of the systems that you can rely on to succeed.
