When Pou said: “When one of my teammates gets caught, I get fired up. But when it’s Laura, my heart drops. I want to react and it’s hard not to, but I can’t.”

I thought of this moment.

Big hit on Laura Stacey, MTL at TOR, March 8th 2024

Stuff I Hope to Test at Today’s Game

Team turns

good guys go as a group, ideally to make everything teamwork based and encourage people to work together. Bad guys go as a group, making them a bit more menacing. Hopefully will save me time too.

Why do I wanna do this? I don’t know I feel like standard initiative order sorta just encourages people to go in alone rather then help someone or think of something cool together. This concept can be better tweaked with time but its been on my mind.

Combat, armor, and damage

I changed all this stuff kinda drastically and have not tested it much at all. I can say with confidence I am NOT VERY CERTAIN about it. Its just very different especially in regards to the D&D-esque combat ways.

Combat I’m afraid is gonna feel lame and less impactful. Also afraid people will get hurt really bad super fast but idk a lot of their armor is pretty high.

Healing

Actually using and collecting herbs in a way that is less rp based. I love the floaty nature of rp and will probably still allow it anyways. Also as a GM I am always micro-managing and have recently learned I Very Likely Have Short Term Memory Loss. Which explains so MUCH. I will TRY to remember this…

Further explanation, you will be able to carry like 4 herbs or whatever, of you use one there’s now 3 like keep track of your stock. I’m sorry I could word this better but idk

Recording

I’ve recorded a few games in the past, but none with this amount of effort. I’m intimidated and a bit nervous.

I’m mostly afraid of my short comings as a GM being shown off to the world. My players have fun, and thats awesome. But I’m not The Worlds Best GM.

BUT the point of this was to show off my game, not to show off me and my friends. I don’t care about how well they preform, so I shouldn’t worry about my performance either.

The Chips I Made in Roll20

This I am hyped for in a nerdy way cause I love being able to use stuff thats so handy in person online. It will also help me keep track of who’s using their chips and how many they have so no one can like… Infinitely use knacks.

NOTES TO SELF:

Re-Read your book RE-READ IT SO YOU REMEMBER HOW YOUR GAME WORKS you are the Rules Guy you wrote them so you need to remember them LOL

Re-Read your session plans and notes, review everyone’s sheets. Reviewing sheets is a cool way to remember people’s strengths and give them the opportunity to use said strengths!

Remember that the players also have to uphold their own engagement to have a good time. Not every little detail is within your control and shouldn’t be!

Beating the Habs (easily) on a 2nd night of a b2b without Auston Matthews in the lineup is a very Leafs things for them to do.
