http:\/\/giantitp.com\/forums<\/a>. While knowledgeable in the ways of Dungeons and Dragons, I found my most interesting posts concerned the running of the game. I spend a lot more time thinking about the game on a meta level than other GMs and I really like writing about it. Problem is, I found myself rehashing and going over stuff all the time. Each time a post came along titled \u00e2\u20ac\u0153help a newbie GM\u00e2\u20ac\u009d I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d give them the same advice. Even the more interesting problems got the same solutions over and over. I always got to touch on interesting topics, but never delve into them. Also, the quality of my answers varied with how motivated I was to post.<\/p>\nThis blog exists for two reasons. First of all, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a master list of my thoughts and feelings on running a roleplaying game. One of my other blogs is just a place for me to dump code and shell scripts and their explanation. I like it since I can just refer to a post I made that fully explains a topic, rather than halfassing the topic in whatever forum I happen to be visiting. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d like to do that with my RPG related thoughts too.<\/p>\n
The other reason is that this is a place where I can go into my thoughts on GMing in greater depth than I would in the average forum post. Writing has always been helpful for me in thought exercises as it forces my brain to slow down to a speed I can type at. I end up spending more time thinking about certain topics and can go into them in greater depth.<\/p>\n
Anyway, despite the title of the blog and what some of my friends tell me, I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t think I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m a master game master. I think there are a few aspects of the game I do better than anyone else I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve played with, but the point of this blog is to help me become a better GM. All I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve done with it so far is discuss the blog itself, and so I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m gonna cut this post short and get on with the game related stuff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
