Today, during Saturday Morning Cartoons, I think I finally nailed down my GM’ing.

I didn’t have a crazy adrenaline spike, I didn’t sweat it when I wasn’t sure how a situation would play out. The players gave me the space to move the play along at an exciting pace, and still frame a scene properly. I prepped just enough to run smoothly without bogging any particular situation down.

I wasn’t worried about furiously trying to run perfectly, or making sure no one was bored EVER.

I just really, REALLY, enjoyed the experience, and so did the players.

That’s not to say other sessions haven’t been good, or even great, but this is the first time I felt 100% comfortable as a GM, like I was just talking with friends.

I owe a lot of that to The Gauntlet, and the positive player culture. So thanks for letting me cut my teeth here, and become better.

Shout out to

Alex Chalk Jim Cummings Johannes Carlsten, you have made great characters, and I am already looking forward to next week.

  9. I’ve played with you before and I’m really really glad to read this. Kudos to you for really bringing it and actively encouraging feedback. And I should add that I especially appreciate that you’re one of the GMs running games at European-friendly times! Go, Daniel!

  13. Johannes Oppermann Thank you! I am feeling encouraged for sure! I want to keep the mid-day games going for those who can’t make all the other fun stuff going on for as long as I can.

    Michael Lubinski Yes! This is a good place to be. Welcome!

    Definitely get in some games on Gauntlet_Hangouts if possible. You’re almost guaranteed to have a great set of players. If it’s too tough to get into one, you can still mine the community for people willing to play games. 🙂
