LISTEN. You’re a GM. You have a world. You need to give your players information about that world without info-dumping on them as the game develops.

Your campaign world needs a newspaper. There is no better way of relaying the setting’s lore and exposition than through the lens of the NPCs who live there. They can post work opportunities! They can discuss current events! They can use local lingo! They can post scurrilous lies about whatever you want!

And your players will eat it up!

Are you feeling heady with power yet? Do you realize what a tool this is?!

They will be shocked when they first realize that the papers lied to them... Or they’ll feel oh so very clever for being skeptical about what they read! Hell, they might even want to put out ads or articles in the paper of their own creation! Imagine their faces when the paper talks about them and their heroic exploits... Or attributes credit for what they did to someone else entirely! Or makes the whole thing a hit piece painting them as villains! What if the whole tone of the paper suddenly changes? What if a favorite columnist suddenly shows up dead? What if an obituary for one of the player characters gets printed? Your options are literally limitless.

Give your game a newspaper. You’ll thank me. You’re welcome.

i really never would’ve seen stranger things as the show capable of:

straight baiting their audience

giving me the straight dude with a lesbian best friend dynamic i’ve always wanted to see on tv

Let me tell Ya'll Some Stuff

You don't ship Destiel?

That's okay.

You ship Wincest?

That's Okay.

You ship Samifer?

That's okay.

You don't ship Sabriel

That's okay.

What is not okay. Is this!

"You don't ship J2?! You should die!"

Never. Never Ever!

Tell someone that they should die because they ship one thing and not the other.

We need to accept that . It's gonna be hard.

You either block it. Or just Accept it.

Now if someone says;

"Misha Collins is a stupid actor,"

THAT'S THEIR OPINION!

Now don't go and say;

"WHAT?! You should go and die!"

Because that is not nice either.

There are people out there who are nice.

I joined this fandom, what....5-6 years ago...

I wasn't expecting that we are this

Un-mature.

Let people ship what the ship.

But what isn't okay is going after those actors wife's and kids.

That is not nice.

That is disrespectful.

A few things I hope are character quirks and not just one off things,

Jester- doesn't understand a lot of common knowledge things like not drinking salt water.

Beau- takes things literally "You pickled your sword?"

Caleb- gets assertive the second he's got a book in front of him.

Molly- drops his relaxed asshole personality the second a kid needs some help.

Yasha- loves cute people and things.

Fjord- wants to do a crime.

Frumpkin- catty asshole.

I forgot Nott- immediate response to any danger is "I'M A LITTLE HALFLING GIRL" even when she's clearly not in disguise.
