Link: Your Expectations Lose to Player Participation
by sagotsky on Nov.03, 2009, under GM, links and articles
Your expectations lose to player participation is one of the best GMing articles I’ve even read, even if the title is questionable. Â Well, maybe it’s not one of the best, but it’s one of the ones I can learn the most from. Â The article reminds us that in a table top game the GM is as much the lead writer as the PCs are. Â Tabletop gaming is an interactive media for collaborative storytelling. Â If I repeatedly make any mistake as GM it’s that I broadcast too much of my own story instead of letting the PCs tell theirs.
As a sidenote, all my links thus far have bene to Gnome Stew articles. Â I really enjoy their blog, but sometimes I feel like I pimp them too much. Â Any other good GMing sites worth of linking?
