Further GM Tips

By
 Introduction trope revised Rather than bump into each other in a tavern, and then spotting a cloaked figure in the bar to get information/quest. Have the characters individually been asked to meet here by an acquaintance they all share During Session 0, ask each player   How their characters feel about turning up on time? How they answer this dictates how and when they arrive. As they arrive, this is a way for characters to introduce themselves, by their looks, actions and then when they sit. What's the first thing they do when they enter the tavern? What do they order? Do they tip the bartender? Where do they sit at the table? What do they do if someone is sitting where they wanted to sit? Now they have all arrived, rather than a cloaked figure in the corner trope, the figure sits down at the last seat at the table, and can cut straight to the chase as they have been invited there with something like “Good, good you are all here, I find introductions tiresome, let'...

How to find a RPG / D&D group near you

By
Looking for online RPG groups for beginners? Or perhaps you are a veteran player in need of another in-person campaign? Finding a tabletop RPG group near you can be a challenge, but fear not this little ditty should help you find the right RPG group for you. Time and location are the two biggest problems for RPG players looking for a RPG group. How to Find a RPG Group Offline There’s no experience quite like playing RPG in the physical presence of your fellow players. Most beginner and experienced RPG players alike prefer to play offline RPG. It is not as easy to find a group, but it is 100% possible. The Starter’s Set The official D&D Starter Set might be the best way to play D&D for the first time. It includes a set of dice, premade characters, a basic rulebook, and a game that takes players from Level 1 to Level 5. Other RPGs have similar starting rule sets that are great for diving into a RPG. If you have (or can find) a group of friends who would also like to form a beginn...

Running your combat in "Theatre of the Mind" a different Roleplaying experience

By
First off this is not just limited to Dungeons & Dragons, but can be applied to all systems. How To Run Narrative Combat For those used to running RPGs using a gridded battle map and miniatures, running narrative "theatre of the mind" combat can feel both terribly strange and strangely familiar. If we're used to running combat on a 5 foot per square grid, the switch to combat in the theatre of the mind can easily make us feel like something is missing. How can we really know what's going on in combat if we can't see it? The answer lies in the other two pillars of our game—exploration and interaction. We don't set up battle maps and lay out miniatures when our characters have a discussion with an NPC. We likely don't set up a big map and start counting off squares when the characters explore an ancient ruin (although we can!). We don't have visual queues when we're describing how a thief narrowly avoids a poisoned pin while attempting to disarm ...
