Preparing to run @zedecksiew.bsky.social’s A Perfect Wife tonight, made these character cards with some “backstory” questions to help connect the players to Desa Damai. Super excited for this game. (Excuse my handwriting)

My copy got delivered today!!!! I feel like i cheated someone paying so little for such a big horde of wisdom. A book so truly packed that one of the tables escaped and is chilling on the spine, couldn't be more happy.

Map for an adventure i started running recently. While investigating an abandoned fishing village, the guards of this fort island found an imperial spy and their unit of fleshcrafted drones. Having killed the spy and put out the signal fire, they prepare to report to their superiors.

Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear.

I was stuck describing the terrain types of my map. So I thought: ok what do I actually need to communicate to the GM? And it became much easier.
Instead of flavour descriptions, I described what the bugs do there and how the hunters hunt there. And flavour details emerged out of that. 👍

"What are you trying to do?" is *so* important.
Also: I see pointless, zero-stakes rolls in APs all the time. Roll with intention and an obvious *downside*. Makes every game better.

I'll add that declaring your character's intended result of that action is equally important. If the GM knows what the player is hoping to accomplish, it's far more probable to happen and also not cause confusion of intent.

D&D Tip: Declare your character's actions, not the mechanics.
