Becoming a Great GM with Guy Sclanders

Ep18: Running a Natural Disaster in Your Campaign


Listen Later

Natural disasters! I personally believe that they're fun and very exciting to add into your game! So today, we're chatting about natural disasters - why they're exciting and how you can begin to add them into your game & create adventures with them. 
Together with the Discord community chat, we string together an adventure around a volcanic eruption. 

Topics covered: 

  • The first step to including a natural disaster into your game. 
  • How to introduce NPCs within the natural disaster adventure. 
  • Building up to the disaster. 
  • Running the actual disaster & using real world research to make it believable. 
  • What happens when the disaster has run its course? 
  • Rewarding your player after the disaster has passed. 
  • Thinking about the larger & long-term impacts/ramifications of the natural disaster & how to weave them into your campaign. 
  • What to do if your players show no interest in the natural disaster adventure.
