3/3

4. Handouts/props that can double as party favors. Some RPG coins or “gems” as rewards. Little theme-appropriate journals and pens. Potion bottles off of Amazon (or, preferably, anywhere else) filled with zero-sugar Gatorade/Powerade, Vitamin Water, etc.

2/3

3. Don’t be afraid to let their actions have serious consequences. Rash decisions that make their circumstances more dire are an opportunity to ramp up drama and action, and can always be tempered by intervention by one of those helpful NPCs.

1/3

1. Sensory language. It helps with immersion, but also helps align their minds as they imagine experiencing those sounds and smells around the characters.

2. Have 1 or 2 NPCs around that COULD become mentors or guides, if needed. You don’t have to have them fully fleshed out, just ready.

They may have overestimated the average person’s desire to head where the wind comes sweepin’ down the plain and the wavin’ wheat can sure smell sweet when the wind comes right behind the rain.

Not called “Sincere City” for nothin’.

Did the same thing. Just need Blanc to gesture a “Great Job Horn” or ask the suspects to play with him in the space in the second act of the next film.

“You seen that glove on his left hand?"

"Yeah, I seen it."

"Well, that glove’s fulla Vaseline."

"Vaseline? What the hell for?"

"Well, I tell ya what--Brady says he’s keepin’ that hand soft for his mattress."

George studied the cards absorbedly. "That’s a dirty thing to tell around," he said.

The preshies know how to get one another through the day, John. You started some great things.

I was just in New Jersey for the first time ever. I saw the skyline of Manhattan, and a Santa Claus peeing on the side of a Wegmans!

The icy patch bit is solidly executed every. Damn. Time.
