Bridgett’s Pet Pick Shout Out

“Nate, Lost in Time and Space, our feared editor, has a couple of photos that are hilarious… two cats. One, Moon. Living their best life. Taking a nap. And Millie. Staring at Moon with sheet scorn, resentment, and hatred. It’s so petty. And delightful.”

Welcome to our new curriculum “GM Like a Pro.” Over this series of episodes we will bring you a solid set of tools you can use to up your game mastering and expand both your skills as well as strengthen your table and all of your players. 

Tonight is session one “How to Pace Games Like a Pro.” Our first class is pretty fundamental, and I think is one of the most important skills we can develop as GMs.

And as mentioned previously, we asked our backers for inputs on these topics and many people wanted to know more about how to best pace their games. This was proved by all the specific questions we got from those same backers when we asked them – what do you want to know about pacing?

So most of these questions come from our backers, with some Bridgett and Dave specifics thrown in along the way. Shall we begin?

This episode, Keepers Dave & Bridgett discuss ways to make space scary with Graham Walmsley.
