GM/DM Questions and Advice

There are plenty of times when people are wondering if they should take the plunge and run a game, or maybe they're forced to step up because no one else will. What I hope to accomplish here is a place where those in that position, and others, can ask questions and for advice on running games to help build their understanding and confidence. Afterall more people running games is always a good thing.

This isn't a place to ask rules specific questions. This is about running games. Whether you're new or you've been running games for 10 years there's no shame in asking for advice, personally it's been over 8 years since I ran my first game and I still value feedback and advice that people have to give me. If other experienced GMs and DMs would like to join me in this endeavour then I welcome your assistance and input too.

There's kind of that between the General Chat and the Game Proposals, Input, and Advice forums here.  But I'd certainly welcome any advice.  I struggle here quite a bit, especially with keeping a game moving along and dealing with abandoned characters.  While I find ftf much better in those respects, scheduling and getting players for the kind of games I'm interested in at all is far more difficult, if not impossible.  roll20 I've also tried is kind of halfway between ftf and pbp, with some of the issues of both.

So I keep coming back to try to get my role-playing outlet somehow.  :)

I am aware of those but this is more focused since on those there are such a broad range of topics covered. The other benefit is that this will allow more concentrated back and forth instead of people and topics getting lost in the shuffle.

Inside a 'game' you also have more freedom to provide examples, without tripping over the site rules.

Tales...

I don't see that as something you should HAVE to do...but damn, I admire your dedication.  Bravo to you!  I feel that anyone joining your game would be damn lucky to have a GM that would do something like that.

Bump! Anyone new or old that wants to talk with other GM/DMs and maybe needs advice. Here is where to get it. We're a community of friendly GM/DMs who love to help each other out with suggestions and advice about anything that may be troubling you. I'm a 30+ year veteran of GM?DM and I still learn new things. So don't think you can't learn anything here. And for New GM/DMs having an experienced friend that might be able to help you with issues. It's even better when there are dozens.
