I said I would never do it again. But after being asked by several folks I have, once again, stepped to be a local community leader for the gamers in the area. Restarting my old group 'Mineral Area Gaming Enthusiasts' back up. This time I'm doing some things differently.

A true icon we should all know about! Mike Pondsmith is a creative pioneer who walked into a predominantly whyt space and made cool art.

So it's Black History Month and that means I think it's a good time to get familiar with Mike Pondsmith, if you're not already.

When you see R. Talsorian Games, that's him. When you see Cyberpunk 2077, that's his world.

Mekton, Castle Falkenstein, also him.

If it seems like small creators are constantly on the promotion cycle, it's because we kind of have to be or we can't stay afloat.

I try to mix it up with humor, advice, silly memes, and so on but I always have to circle back to promotion in short order to keep the lights on.

A level up for this is to create a map for the entire game. map connections between NPCs, PCs, locations, factions. All of them.
GM Tip: Draw relationship maps for NPCs: who loves, hates, owes or knows whom. When players ask about connections, you'll have answers. These maps also reveal organic plot hooks you might have missed.

My GM confessional:

I absolutely suck at running games 'by the book'. I handwave a LOT of stuff, opt to make quick rolls instead of complicated ones, and change things based on the mood of the table.

What's yours?
