Memorial Day has slowed all my games. I know I shouldn't join another one.

Aaachhh, I'm really itching to run something big on GP when I know I -shouldn't- since I'm not that familiar with the format and the site yet. Come on, please get this itch away from me!

I don’t have the itch, buuuuut…

16. (Checks table.) Well, that’s pretty much a necessity for the previous, current and next game.Last edited January 18, 2025 3:13 pm

Talk to players?! Ugh.
Sigh. Fair enough. I had hoped 3 was "eat biscuits", but I suppose I can write a "Previously on...".
Table says:
13. Talk to Your Players: Get some feedback from your players about your current games. If you're not sure how to ask, try the following questions: "How would you rank this game out of 10? If you didn't give it a 10, what are some changes/additions that would get it closer to being a 10?"Table says:
3. Summarize the Story: Start documenting or add to your existing document of the story thus far. A regular recap helps you keep information straight, and you can publish it to help players remember important details. Play-by-post is hard on even the most dedicated players to recall all the details of a long-term game, so this can help them stay on top of things, easing one cause of friction in play-by-post games.Last edited February 7, 2025 2:45 pm

There's always a point in which the games start to feel comfortable and I think to myself what a wonderful world perhaps I can fit another one on top, should be fine right? Right?
Experiment with new tools.
You know, I've actually been meaning to step up my OTFBM game. I'm doing pretty dang good with it right now, but there's always more I can do. Legends are a good thing to add, probably in a spoiler beneath.
Doesn't mean I can't still start looking at a new game.

17. Share Your Knowledge: Write a post in the GP forums about your experiences running games, or post some interesting questions about the art of game mastering. Who knows it might even turn into a YouTube series like Qralloq's Gamers exPlane!Rolls

Help me dice, I've got the itch to start a new game, something non medieval fantasy this time.
18. Set Up a New Game Forum: Rather than start recruiting people, scratch that itch to run a new game by just setting up the game forum. Write up your introductory scene; create subforums for setting info, homebrew rules, and other details you want front and center; write up the safety rules for your game; and monkey around with forum permissions in the ACP. This is all time consuming stuff that will make your game much easier to run once you decide you've got enough bandwidth to do so, and you can do this without the pressure of players waiting for the game to get started.
Might be a good idea, see if I'm still hellbent on running this after all the setup or it's a passing obsession.

Getting itchy. I know I shouldn't start a new game. So what do the dice say?

14. Read Your Retired Games: We spend so much time crafting these amazing worlds, characters and stories. But once they're done, they just vanish forever. Go back and read some of your old games. Sometimes you'll feel like you were a better GM in games past, before life or bad habits got in the way - this will help you reset yourself. Sometimes you'll see how far you've come and nothing else fuels you you more for continued improvement.Last edited May 12, 2026 9:46 pm
