How it feels.

GMs: you screw up, just say so. The GM is a player, playing the game from its other side, not an actor in a stage play. If you give wrong information, just say so and correct yourself. If you forget a rule, send another player to look it up, don’t try to weave it into a seamless performance.

Rolls to Alarm Your Players

Want to spice the game up? Why not try alarming your players for no real reason? Make sure to make a show out of counting the dice before you roll.

People don't talk about the best part about being a dm.

It's not the cool monsters or vibrant worlds.

It's not the poignant storytelling and heart wrenching character dynamics.

It's hiding stuff from your players and being able to send a vague and threatening text to a group chat and watching them all freak out

Maybe this is a silly statement, but I never realized how much love and care goes into being a dm and it’s made me really passionate about planning my current campaign. It’s like yeah you’re putting in a ton of work learning all the rules to the game and writing the story and planning so much shit, but you’re also making a gift for your friends. You’re sitting down in front of your laptop, energy drink in hand, asking yourself “How can I perfectly curate a world that my friends will love? How can I incorporate their interests and their wants and their needs?” It’s like no matter how hard writing the campaign gets or how tired I get of working at it endlessly, I never ever feel like giving up because it’s not just for me, it’s for my friends whom I love dearly. I love you enough to build an entire world for you, I hope you like it.

Making brennan lee mulligan proud by drafting a dnd campaign where you get hired to find a mercenary responsible for the death of a nobleman who owns every apothecary and healer in the city and along the way you discover more and more about the city's working class struggles and how the people have started to rally in support of this one man and can you guess what current event has inspired this one?

One complaint/reaction we often get about Eureka: Investigative Urban Fantasy that I find really baffling is that we expect you to hide your PC's character sheet from other players at the table. A lot of people act like this is an impossible task, but, like tons and tons and tons of well-established tabletop games expect you to hide elements of play from other players? Poker? Blackjack? Go Fish? Uno? Settlers of Catan? DM screens?
