Sitting … in the bathroom … of a mountain hotel. I should brush my teeth but I just want to sit.
@Judd writes thoughts about three categories of game preparation:
Folks who say they improv when they DM have a structure that they have often internalized. – Context, Cool Shit and Consequences
Context, Cool Shit and Consequences
I like this very much! I need to think about the things I like to add to my games and why.
I’m interested in the “why?” because I read the notes Judd made and think, ah, easy! Like he says, experienced referees have hidden resources. So then I start wondering, what are the hidden resources I draw upon? The theological issues and socio-political issues that keep coming up, the traits NPCs in my games tend to have, the kinds of dungeons, the kinds of intrigues, the kind of scenes that make me laugh.
Like in a discussion about movies I wonder: how would you know that you’re in an Alex game?
