It's time for a community workshop. This Sunday evening at 7pm Eastern, come talk about your ongoing game(s) that you're running. This event is for GMs who are using (or moving towards) a proactive approach to running the game. We'll talk about: - Your PCs' goals and how to sharpen them - How you could react to those goals with factions, NPCs, and locations - Encounter design that's fun and also moves the story forward in a meaningful way These are pretty fun and usually pretty small (3-4 people), so come with your notes and prepared to talk in detail about your game. Also please come ready to give other GMs ideas - it's best when we all riff together. (This event is for Gold members only - if you aren't Gold yet, you can read about what it is here).

Hello all! I’ve been traveling this past week, and have had to extend my travel plans a bit, meaning I won’t be able to run our weekly game again. Luckily, I’ll be back home with a steady work schedule Wednesday night, so we’ll be back on schedule starting Wednesday the 27th! Looking forward to getting back and chatting with everyone again soon!
