3. I feel like y’all have addressed the subject before, but given that GauntletCon is fresh in everybody’s minds, it might be a good time to talk about tips & tricks for making a con-style one-shot sing.

13. How do you deal with self-doubt, and the post-game downers? I’d say approaching this question from both the angles of doing things like asking for highlights / feedback, but also for even when all the players rave about how they loved a game, and you still feel that self-doubt.

15. I’d be interested in hearing how GMs who recieve constructive feedback convert that feedback into action?
