I’m having an issue in my current campaign that I wanted to share with the community to see if anyone else has experienced something similar.

When I started out GMing, I did a lot more prep than I do now. Part of that is probably that I’ve grown more confident as a GM, and part is the influence of games like Fate and PbtA that introduced me to lighter prep methods.

Now I’ve started running a Dragon Age campaign, which is a bit more trad-style to an extent (maps and minis, NPCs have stats, etc), and I find myself trying to re-learn how to prep all over again. I’m not even sure if the campaign actually requires a different prep style, or if I just feel like it should.

Has anyone else experience this feeling of having to re-learn how to GM when switching from running indie games to something a bit more trad-style? If so, do you have any advice on how to re-adjust, or if it’s even necessary?

This is a Fate Core based RPG about characters from Arthurian myth being reincarnated in the modern day, funding on Kickstarter right now. I’ve got a soft spot for fiction which translates myths to modern or futuristic settings, so it’s definitely up my alley. Thought I’d share on here in case it’s of interest to anyone.

Hi folks, in a couple of weeks I’ll be on a bus with fellow RPers on our way to the yearly Student Nationals. Usually, someone will run a light RPG for a few folks during the journey. I’ve decided I’ll give it a shot this year, and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for light games suitable for travel?

I’ll have a dice app on hand for rolls, and I’m already considering Cheat Your Own Adventure, Nanoworld and a few of the Sundered Land games, but I’d love to hear other suggestions.
