The way you frame and deliver a scene to your players is a very important skill to hone. Especially if you want them to walk through the door instead of talking about how to open the door.Donate To Our Editor: https://ko-fi.com/sessionscanceled YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCf1ILEpdmgiEHnc6Agaz4KQBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/sessionscanceld.bsky.social Twitter: https://twitter.com/SessionsCanceld Background music by Kevin Dubois: https://www.instagram.com/kevindubeast/
Vincent and Meg Baker dropped a surprise bomb on us out of nowhere and announced a Kickstarter for Apocalypse World 3E. So, naturally, Josh wants to comb over every preview that we got.

Part of the GMs job in running the game is figuring out who gets the spotlight and for how long. It can be a delicate thing to manage though and is often easier said than done.Donate To Our Editor: https://ko-fi.com/sessionscanceled YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCf1ILEpdmgiEHnc6Agaz4KQBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/sessionscanceld.bsky.social Twitter: https://twitter.com/SessionsCanceld Background music by Kevin Dubois: https://www.instagram.com/kevindubeast/
Most people run D&D as their first game. Our friend however decided to take a different route and ran CAIN instead so we were curious to see how she feels after all is said and done.Kass' Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/crystalline-lune.bsky.social Donate To Our Editor: https://ko-fi.com/sessionscanceled YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCf1ILEpdmgiEHnc6Agaz4KQBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/sessionscanceld.bsky.social Twitter: https://twitter.com/SessionsCanceld Background music by Kevin Dubois: https://www.instagram.com/kevindubeast/

It is a constant internal debate for a GM, how much should I tell the players? How much do I keep close to the chest? What crosses into too much meta knowledge? Well we got answers to this conundrum.

It's easy to make combats in your game become really samey and boring. Hit the bag of hit points until it goes down isn't always the most fun option. Throw in some alternative objects though and things get more interesting quick.
