This is from Judd Karlman’s podcast, Daydreaming about Dragons, reply show Snowblanket:
Being a good player, including a GM, and being a good friend, and the skills that go along with those things, are the same skills. They are the same thing. You’ve got to show up. You’ve got to be present. You’ve got to pay attention. You’ve got to ask good questions. These are not only things that good players do, these are things that good people do. These are things that good friends do. Making sure that everybody’s boundaries aren’t being crossed. Checking in with someone when they seem uncomfortable. This is not just payer stuff – this is life stuff! This is important stuff. And when we talk about safety, that’s what we’re talking about. We’re talking about being a good friend.
Great stuff.
