RPGs 201: Improving your Game

Have you mastered the basics of RPGs like D&D, but are looking to “up your game” and improve your GMing style?

Are you curious about the techniques and lessons of experienced professional Game Masters?

Game Mastering for your friends is a lot of fun— but it can also be a lot of work, and at times can feel overwhelming! This class will help Game Masters learn how to run the game more smoothly and efficiently, and make sure that your players stay invested and have a blast. This class will be more flexible, allowing for experienced Game Masters to raise questions and issues directly during the presentation. It will include topics such as:

  • Engaging Players: Maintaining the fun, introducing new players

  • Streamlining Play: How (and when) to keep gameplay and action moving

  • Specialized Groups: Running for coworkers, kids groups, and pick-up groups

  • Common Table Issues: Creative solutions to common problems

  • Preparation: Tips and tricks to making the most of your prep time

  • Question & Answer: Submit your own questions, broad or specific
