Are you an aspiring Game Master? Have you and your friends been interested in playing D&D or another TTRPG but no one wants to step into the Role of GM? Maybe you've been watching Critical Role and now you're itching to run a game yourself but you're feeling nervous about getting behind the screen? Well fret no longer friend. Today Dan Ryan of Non-Fiction Gaming sits down with me to share some tips on how to get started as a new GM. Dan has been involved in D&D and TTRPGs for many years and has had the chance to coach up many new DMs at various PAX events (Penny Arcade Expos). He is here to share the knowledge and wisdom he has gained and gleaned from time teaching others as well as running games himself. So whether you've been creating a homebrew world from scratch and are sitting on all of your deep lore, or you've never looked at a D&D adventure in your life but you're eager to play, We're here to coach you on how to pick up a starter set get some friends around the table, be it virtual or physical, and get to rolling them bones right away. With some hot tips such as: Start in the action, have the players interact with the game mechanics as soon as possible, walk your players through their first dice rolls, include a small combat some developments and then wrap the first session up with their first boss battle; you'll be GMing like a pro in no time. You can Find Dan and Non-Fiction Gaming on their website at https://www.nonfictiongaming.com/ or catch them on Youtube, Twitch, or twitter @nfglive or @SheriffDann. Dan talk about turning the Hangover into a 1-Shot. You can read more about that here: https://www.nonfictiongaming.com/2016/09/28/turning-hangover-star-wars-rpg-eote-session/ His session 0 character questionnaire can be found here: https://www.nonfictiongaming.com/2017/05/16/questions-dm-ask-players-starting-dd-campaign/ He also mentions Sly Flourish's videos Tips for the Lazy Dungeon Master.

At Spiel Knights we are really in favor of making games more fun, and we think one way to make roleplaying games more fun is to help dungeon masters cut down on preparation time. Some issues with over-preparation: -stress on the dungeon master -players never visit the locations you worked so hard on -risk of railroading -harder to give leeway to player decisions But there is a better way. We picked up a lot of useful tips from Return of the Lazy Dungeon Master, by Michael Shea. So we want to give you 4 tips that you can use to make your preparation easier, which will result in a more enjoyable game for everyone. Focus only on the forces that are affecting the players in the here and now. (Prepare what benefits your game) Use an adventure outline, and keep it to one page. (You can also use these to plan and inspire future adventures) Put secrets and clues on index cards to reward players and move the story (ambiguous to how the secret is found, write 10 of them, discard old ones) Use campaign fronts to keep games simpler but fun (large villains and forces keep moving towards their goals, and the players have to figure out the mystery and stop them) Arenas: Rules to Help Establish Arenas in Any Game World, by Ody. Overview: This short book gives you some rules and guidelines when you want to run a colosseum or fighting arena in your city. The book provides rules for spectating, placing bets, and of course, entering the tournament yourself. There are also suggestions for gladiators, gladiator teams, and a sample adventure you can run using an arena.

Episode 127 - Reviewing GM Advice (aka "I'm the Unknown Stunt Man") There's plenty of GM advice out there in roleplaying land, but what about advice on the advice? This time on the 'cast, Gaz is joined by the Lee Majors of roleplaying, Dirk the Dice, from the Grognard Files Podcast to discuss sources of GM advice.

What if the reason your gaming group is collapsing is because the Game Master keeps cancelling the sessions?In this final episode of Series 1, we talk about the barriers that stop a Game Master from getting a regular game off the ground and the strategies that I am starting to use to correct this problem. We learn about the Holy Trinity of game decisions that I believe lie at the heart of every successful roleplaying campaign. We finish by talking through the requirements for an Open Table and I share a worked example. I also discuss strategies for prepping and some of the systems that you can rely on to succeed.Here are some links from the episode:Daniel Pink, "When": www.danpink.com/books/when/The Alexandrian, Justin Alexander's, “Open Table” series:thealexandrian.net/wordpress/1223/roleplaying-games/opening-your-game-table The Alexandrian, Justin Alexander's, “Game Structures” series: thealexandrian.net/wordpress/15126/roleplaying-games/game-structuresThe Angry GM: theangrygm.comSly Flourish's "Return of the Lazy Dungeon Master": slyflourish.com/returnofthelazydmEngine Publishing's "Never Unprepared": www.enginepublishing.com/never-unprepared-the-complete-game-masters-guide-to-session-prepBrian Jamison's "Gamesmastering": www.gamemastering.info Hosted on Acast.
