Description

<figure class="wp-block-image"></figure>

This episode, Keeper Bridgett and Guest Keeper Evan Perlman discuss…wait for it…wait for it…waaaaaaait for iiiit… Tension in Storytelling. PART II!


We’ll discuss what tension is, why it’s important, how to deploy it, and how to keep your players on the edge of their seat! 


We’ll also probably confuse “tension” and “suspense” because we’re professionals like that.
