- Episode 3: Keep it Simple and Streamlined
In the second of two "intermediate" episodes you will hear some audio extracted from longer patreon videos in which John talks about DMing and Game Design.
Keep it simple and streamlined. John talks about how to cut out unwanted content and deliver a more complete experience to your players - and for yourself.
This can be applied to running one shots, campaigns and scenario and system design
John draws on his own GMing and Game writing experience to illustrate this.
This video contains a digital white board mock up of how John (poorly) created a scenario which he later fixed.
