On Sunday there were a couple of tweets by Sly Fourish that I found timely reminders and great advice for DMs/GMs. Although aimed at D&D (hence the hashtag) they were both applicable to any RPG system in my opinion.
So without any sort of permission I thought I’d share them here below.
The Sly Flourish tip I’m totally guilty of. I need to take this into account more within my session prep. At the moment if they get to showcase them it’s more by luck.
The DnDTweets tip is a great reminder that stuff still happens while the adventurers are doing their thing. Plots of NPCs advance, stuff happens. It reminded me what is Angrath the Minotaur pirate currently doing? I could even throw Vraska into this thought process. I’ll write more on this and what I think is going on in a session prep post with all the disclaimers for my party.
I hope others reading this find the tips useful.
