What’s a piece of advice you’d give to someone wanting to become a Dungeon Master?

*sigh* Jesus… I just spent a full ten minutes answering this. I wrote a freakin’ essay… and the goddamn internet thing… *deep purposeful breath*

O.K

As I ORIGINALLY SAID…

Nice fucking question!

Best advice I got was to learn to become a collector as a DM. Collect character traits. People’s voices, intonation, gestures, if you see something in a movie that scares the crap outta you, break it down. What’s so scary about it? How can you scare others with it? Find the gems in drawing emotion and buy-in from others. Sounds a bit fucked right? Like it’s a whole manipulation game?

Nah, it’s part of telling the story. Consider this… if you will.

When you tell a ghost story by a campfire, aren’t the best ones where everyone is sitting on the edge ready to bust something to find out what’s going on? Yeah it’s called storytelling with intention. What’s the aim of playing DnD? Well it’s a personal answer really depending who you ask but I know in good ol’Hellfire it’s about the ride.

The experience. The fun, ups and downs, adrenaline and laughs. The whole damn lot. What helps that is having a stash of names, character traits, voices, facial expressions. Make it real for them. These characters they’re encountering ARE real. Drawing buy-in in return. It’s cyclical. More buy in-more put in, more fun.

Don’t use a straight everyday tone when you’re up there being the bard dude. You can’t use the same tone of voice you use when you’re discussing best dump of the day with the boys.

Watch people. Collect people. Keep a notebook and write that shit down and practice it at home. The less you feel like a dick playing a character at home the more comfortable you’ll get with it leading a game. Promise.

Go forth and slay…

Right in middle of my sentence too! Had no reason for wanting to, he just did it out of nowhere. He thought it was funny until I threw up.

How do you feel about Dive Olly Dive?

I had actually never heard about it until I followed you!!!

Good to see you back.

Two questions:

1.Have you heard of James Farr?

2.If you have, did you know he’s making a video game?

I've not heard of him before!! Well, ok, I may have heard of him at some point, but his name doesn't ring any bells

That sounds super cool!!!
