Doing GM Advice on a new Streaming Platform for Evil Hat
Evil Hat has invited me to do GM advice for Thirsty Sword Lesbians on this new Platform Moonbeam and I am really excited to do this with Nomo and Lily. I've run for and been a player for Nomo and Lily in Thirsty Sword Lesbians multiple times. Their both amazingly talented GMs who both come at Thirsty Sword Lesbians from different angles.
I've got to do lots of design work on TSL but I am also fairly confident that I am the person on this planet who has GMed the most games of Thirsty Sword Lesbians with I think around 100 sessions GMed and even more played. I really love this game and I have watched tons of the live streams and most podcasts too. I have tons and tons of thoughts on common errors new GMs make in TSL and lots of experience to draw from my own mistakes, lessons and just things I have found my players really like.
While I'd love to do more written advice getting to do a 2 Hour Live stream followed by a 1 hour fire side chat is really a place where I will be able to go into the details, the little questions and stuff I just couldn't really get to in writing while also like working on all my projects. Plus you'll get the perspectives of the other two amazing panelists who really are two of my favorite GMs in the world even outside of TSL. I've played lots of exciting stuff with them at different tables and I really trust their advice too.
Not only that but the amazing Sean Nittner is going to be moderating for us and he is such a talent. I've worked with him lots of times both as a TTRPG designer and on live streams and he is really great at keeping everyone on target, making sure things run smooth and everything. We're in amazing hands with him at the wheel.
The Moonbeam platform itself seems really interesting, I don't have full knowledge of it yet but I do like the idea and I think it's a promising platform even if there are things that seem like potential flaws. I love the idea of having like Discord + Twitch built in all together especially with both companies increasingly fucking up and getting greedier. I'd like to run a realm for folks but we'll see how the platform works out and like what they offer me.
