Sometimes as a GM you gotta be a little bold and just say what a player character does. It can work we promise.

Framing the scene and setting up the narrative beats are both important pacing elements that can sometimes be brought to a halt by player confusion.

Sometimes your game of choice just gives you problems and you gotta work out how to deal with it.

In this week's talk about the spotlight, the boys discuss having a favorite player and PC. Why it happens, what to do, and how players can help the GM collaborate on stories that are fun for both sides.

The character spotlight is a tool in the GMs tool box that requires a deft hand to use well and can often be tricky.

We asked our Newbiw GM bud what aspect of running CAIN is the most trouble! The Answer... is probably what you'd expect.

Usually people start off their GM career with D&D but in this scenario our friends tried something a little different.

Minions In Drawl Steel can be a little confusing at some points but especially when you are talking about AOE damage. We figured it out eventually though.

The mighty Insight Check in 5E is often a powerful lie detector, you might not want to treat it as such though. We have some suggestions.

How much info to give your players is always a debate. Too much and things get boring, too little and the players get frustrated.
