Welcome to the first interlude episode of season 2!

Slaps and bennies are a type of external motivation. In that, they're less effective than playing on intrinsic motivation, but we'll keep that one for the big motivation episode in the future. As the GM, they are tools that can help you encourage the players toward certain experiences, and away from certain other experiences. If we're playing fast-paced action with “movie-rules”, award the player who jumps on the chandelier. If we're in the middle of a horror scene and someone makes an inappropriate humorous action that threatens to ruin the mood, a slap can encourage them to stop that. ### Wisdom from Paranoia XP (2:15) Trust the Computer. [Paranoia XP](http://drivethrurpg.com/product/1937/Paranoia-Service-Pack-1?affiliate_id=29668). > Attend, Gamemaster, to this wisdom. If you reward players for doing something you like, they will do more of that. If you punish players for doing something you don't like, they will do less of that. Truly, within these simple words lies Gamemaster enlightenment. > Encourage, impartially, creative play, humor and stylish backstabbing. Punish, remorselessly, slow play and rules arguments. In PARANOIA GM talk, rewards are called benefits or, colloquially, bennies. Punishments are slaps. Bennies and slaps can be in-game (The Computer or other authorities administer them to Alpha Complex characters) or in-your-face (you, the GM, administer them to your players). Principles of conditioning: > Timing: Reward your players frequently and quickly, especially early in a mission. Punish them immediately as required. > Consistency: Always describe your bennies as an explicit reward for creative play: ‘I like that, it's funny. You get 1 Perversity point.' Likewise, make it clear why you punish a player. Generally, match the generosity of the award or severity of punishment to the player's degree of entertainment or offense. > Motivation: Early in a play session, motivate proper play through frequent Perversity awards and other bennies. Later, when you feel you've earned their respect, you can administer stern corrections. The GM is responsible for keeping us all playing the thing we wanted to play. For more on that, check out our [GM Responsibilities episode](https://dwarves.podiant.co/e/3603a01bff62b2/). ### S&B as an integral part of the game mechanics (7:22) [Savage Worlds](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Savage_Worlds) has Bennies, which we [explain here](http://www.uptofourplayers.com/comic/wild-heart-page-5/). [Fate](https://www.evilhat.com/home/fate-core/) has Fate Points, which we [explain here](http://www.uptofourplayers.com/fate-core-rules/). In D&D you have Inspiration, which is a good idea, but with a problematic execution. Are there task-specific bennies? Maybe can be inserted into [Torchbearer](http://drivethrurpg.com/product/116482/Torchbearer?affiliate_id=29668) or [Mouse Guard](http://drivethrurpg.com/product/166655/Mouse-Guard-RPG-2nd-Edition?affiliate_id=29668). Don't punish the player in some way that takes him out of play or prevents doing fun things. That just weakens the game for everyone. In systems that have dice-generated resources, like [Mistborn](http://drivethrurpg.com/product/97476/Mistborn-Adventure-Game-Digital-Edition?affiliate_id=29668)'s Nudges or [Genesys](http://drivethrurpg.com/product/228813/Genesys-Core-Rulebook?affiliate_id=29668)' Advantages, you can award some. ### S&B as an external part of the game (16:45) Giving narrative power, “Describe this” Pointing the spotlight. Giving your attention, at all. Laughing, enjoying, encouraging, flowing forward. ### How to add a S&B mechanics to your game? (26:00) Do I understand the game system enough as to not ruin the game balance? Should I add this mechanic? A bennys/slaps mechanic is used to encourage a specific behaviours and you should ask yourself, is there a better way to encourage this? *Should* I encourage this? If you do add mechan

### Narrowing the topic 1:14 When someone does something inspiring, they encourage the other people in the group to invest in the game. Eran wrote about [The Cycle of Inspiration and Investment](http://www.uptofourplayers.com/2017/09/cycle-inspiration-investment/). We focus on small scale here; We'll discuss large scale in a future episode - campaign creation, developing an idea into an adventure, etc. ### Sources of inspiration 3:34 Pretty much anything you encounter can be a source of inspiration: buildings, people, fictional characters from TV series/Anime/Movies/books [Shadowrun](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadowrun) Write down your ideas in Google Keep. You won't be using all of them, and that's fine. Uri has a file called Bits and Pieces in which he writes down random stuff that seemed interesting at the time. He sometimes delve into it for no reason than be inspired. Uri and his family took a trip to [Ashkelon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashkelon) (Fire and disgrace!). The important thing is to fan the flames of creativity as they arrive. Travel, go to museums, [check out the thread we started in our group](https://www.facebook.com/groups/dwarfpodcast/permalink/600754320285488/). Uri likes to take real places and people and import them into his campaigns. This is a great way to remember many details about a specific location or about the detailed description of a specific NPC. ### Development 14:10 * “Yes and”, - build on what happens * “If this is true, what else is true” - build around what happens * Make strong choices and commit to them - the story and relationships will grow out of it. * “What happened before that can connect to this” * Ask provoking questions [Powered by the Apocalypse](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powered_by_the_Apocalypse) ### Randomisation through mechanics 25:53 Even if you don't play these games regularly, you should give them a try, to practice your inspiration skill. * [Once Upon a Time](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/1234/once-upon-time-storytelling-card-game) * [The Quiet Year](https://buriedwithoutceremony.com/the-quiet-year), [Venture Forth](http://drivethrurpg.com/product/227988/Venture-Forth?affiliate_id=29668) * [13th Age](http://drivethrurpg.com/product/118994/13th-Age-Core-Book?affiliate_id=29668)'s Icons * [Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG](http://drivethrurpg.com/product/101050/Dungeon-Crawl-Classics-RPG?affiliate_id=29668) * [Genesys](http://drivethrurpg.com/product/228813/Genesys-Core-Rulebook?affiliate_id=29668) and [Star Wars](https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/starwarsrpg/), [Eran's comics explaining the rules](http://www.uptofourplayers.com/star-wars-rpg-rules/) ### Other suggestions 37:20 Don't keep the cool idea to yourself. Let others participate and build on it - use the cool idea early, and develop it. Done is better than perfect. Use it even before its completely developed. Use the mechanics in surprising ways: e.g. Uri's swashbuckler likes to tailor clothes. Add a few skills or feats for no reason rather than inspiration.

Eran: Back to 50 Fathoms! I did [an opening credit segment](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=992MY3sKtWk), was cool.
