Controlled Chaos, Part 2 Campaign Notes (building your pantry) - Part 1, we gave you some tools, now we start putting stuff together.
Controlled Chaos, Part 2 Campaign Notes (building your pantry)
Part 1 landed. Cool. Now we stock the pantry, so sessions never starve. Build these shelves once, keep them fresh, and your Session Notes become “point and go.” Factions, faces, places, threats, toys, ready to grab mid-scene without killing the music. Here’s the exact framework and where I keep it on my PC. Campaign Notes are your pantry. Session Notes…

Marvel just released a new Tony’s Workshop with experimental rules for Verbal Combat, Animals and… Zombies!

Too much stuff to squeeze into one video, so we’ll focus on Zombies today, doing a deep dive on the new rules, and much, much more! Happy Halloween!

Making Horror Work!
Horror is one of the oldest roleplaying game genres. Spearheaded by the success of the Call of Cthulhu game, it’s been a steady presence in the hobby for a long time. But, as with all things, people try to bandwagon it and put horror into games where the mechanics aren’t necessarily the strongest to support it. Fortunately, there are some workarounds we can use as GMs.

I still don't understand why I'm being followed by 200 political accounts, none of react to any of my posts. None of them has said a word to me.

Take this Rule #1: Plot Points
Before I continue with this blog post, I want to let you know that I'm trying something new here. I'm writing more like me. What I have been doing here is scrubbing the "me" out of my posts. I write stream of consciousness, I'm messy, my ADHD shows through all my writing, and I'm all over the place with run-on sentences and side tangents.

The result of the above process is not the story that will be revealed to the players. It isn't even a history of events that will be explored by the players. The point of play is not to carefully and patiently dole out this information in a dramatic and entertaining manner. That is writing. Instead, the purpose of this is to prime the game master for playing on equal footing with the players. In many ways, it is simply the backstory of all the supporting characters in the scenario. Therefore, the only thing that matters at this stage is the game master's own enthusiasm for the material. Are they excited to play with, not merely present, the situation now boiling in their hands?
