Character driven is all. Space operas are about the characters, the setting is just there to inform you about why the characters are acting the way they are. If you run like that, you do less dry, long exposition out of character. A guy might talk your ear off about something but you can shut him up in character, and then we have some conflict! It’s easier to get lost in narration when it’s players vs setting than players vs characters.

704 and rising.. :)

The algorithm dropped me off in what seems to be the middle of a conversation but I'll share some thoughts on this segment. Never write down the word "will". It's the greatest insight into writing out an adventure. The GM's main job is to track PC and NPC wants. If you know what the PCs want, you'll deliver better games. If you know what NPCs want, they come alive. (So I agree with a lot of what was said) Every session of play should ask the players to make a choice that will change future sessions, or why play? I dislike the word verisimilitude. I prefer "concrete." The more solid the world is in your player's head, the more verisimilitude you'll have. So I like to create anchors to pin the major forces in the game. Each anchor should be as simple and discreet. Players should be able to hold the anchors in their mind without struggling. This is easy if the anchors have an easily remembered name or is like something they've touched before. These are concrete reference points they can hang onto. Everything else is flexible (within reason). Just my thoughts on the points ventured.

How many times hasthe diabolical Stephano? died in the soap-opera? Villains in your game can do the same. I've always viewed NPC prep as #1prep... if its my only prep, I can run a game solely on NPC prep alone.

I blocked the guy recently. No hate, I've simply came to the conclusion he is publicly struggling with some pretty severe untreated mental health issues. I'm not his or anybody else's online therapist. I hope he finds some help. Calling 988 and asking about local services can be a good start.

Please delete the Scott Garabage part out the into, If i hear him say one more time looking at a person's back is not enough to establish gender, i will start a channel promoting 1d role playing as the saviour of TTRPGs

Anti-plot twist! I have not yet finished watching... and I have no videos. At least on roleplay.

Of course I agree with both you and Matt. I said it a bit differently in my own take on GMs not being storytellers, but the idea is the same: the GMs role-play the world in reaction to the players making their choices. Everyone should be role-playing.

Reminds me of the good old days

The Gothics were such jenky fun

Is this a niche community, special-interest kind of thing? UA-cam recommended this video to me because I watch some tabletop content, I guess. But I'm four minutes in and have zero context for what's even being addressed here. It's just a bunch of clips of different dudes saying different things. What am I missing?

53:52 - The Diamond icons I think mean they are equipped..

Well said Shonner. well said... ;) It's amazing how clueless he is with how contradictory/hypocritical his own meanderings are within the same video... everyone can see it, but Condor is oblivious to his own message.

I got under Steven's skin yesterday in the comments of one of his videos. I merely said my opinion on something, and he became unhinged.

"I'm doing great guys. Nothing is wrong. NOTHING IS WRONG!"

You not fancy having a few HDT things in your game.. ....may it be say hair or cloaks.... ?

28:45 Oh no, I have to make a video response about dueling… lol There’s a LOT to unpack in the minute or so said here

Immersive Death Cycle - ahhh thats what caused it. I was using it with Undead FX... mashed up NPC's for me to.

I have seen the headless issue myself. ENHANCED REANIMATION I had issues with SE version. Also there was another reanimation mod I used that added a body on top of a Skeletons. It was a decomposing mod funny enough that caused issues, probably a conflict with something i used with it.

What happened to Jessi Barbarous Beauty ?

Its not your computer overheating is it that's causing the instability, as your saying how hot it is over there right now ? AC on all the time now ?

25:40 You can think of “to hit” (not thac0, that system is doomed) as proportion. Yes it’s easier for me to hit a bear with a .22 than a squirrel. But one of them is actually going to be affected by it, barring a very well placed shot. You “hit”, but not anything important.

I wonder why people don’t like to role play anymore

I was just in the most awfulest game I've ever been a player in. I would've rather had a storyteller

The anti-DMPC is out of control. What if you have a bunch of new players and need a class they just can't play. Now I understand 5e doesn't have that problem as there are 100 super classes, but 1e and 2e did. No healers? No Magic User? Not a good idea. My DMPC doesn't do a whole lot except heal most times, not sure why Clerics are so disliked by the players. A DMPC Magic User is better than a PC who fireballs small areas and kills the party. You could call them hirelings more than DMPC though when I DM. Gary Gygax ran games with a bunch of hirelings.

11:26 I've stopped thinking of solutions myself, outside the obvious things that come to mind. I'd rather leave the players do that

So, if you need to express a smell, like the sweet-cheesy rot smell of decomposition, a GM should say that this scent permeates the room, rather than "you smell the unmistakable sweet rancid scent of decomposition?"

25:29 what he is about to explain is Rule Zero. When a DM applies what makes sense to override what the rules suggest (ie a prone giant is still easy to hit because it is so large).

Thanks ! BTW - I frequently inform my players, "The ball is totally in your hands. This game isn't going anywhere unless you lead the way."

The experience of the PCs is happening in the moment. Their plans or goals are what they might wish to do, but they have to be focused and proactive in increasing the possibility in those plans to be followed and goals to be achieved.

For me, the story told is in the past tense. It isn’t what is happening in the moment, nor what might happen. Only after the scene has a story been build upon or told.

I don’t tell a story, I explain what the PCs experience as they travel in the world. That isn’t story telling, that is setting the scene. What the players have their characters do in that scene is completely up to them, and through their collected actions that is an evolving, cooperative story.

Scott says "dungeon master" and "dragon masters" as dms and players. I honestly hope he gets mental help

So many crashes of late, it must be soul crushing... Should hop over to SE, it may give you some winy bit more stretch for mods. Yeah it crashes to but I think you get less compared to LE..

It seems all the faults are external (mechanics and rule methods) they totally miss the internal faults (the manners of the Players and the GM) There is a shortage of "Runners" or GM's, ones that only Narrate vicinity and only embody NPC's for personal interactions. It is a rare thing having 100% character freedom in a game as the GM's these days want to show a story and players best sit down and just listen.

Some videos show off her skills more than others. I can understand clearly why she has followers and they probably put the video on mute.

I don't doubt that there are some tables run like this and they don't sound fun. But I fail to see any TTRPG played the way you describe. Unless they are just playing for the combat/wargaming, but some people still enjoy that.

Out of interest I have Active mods 1088 and 160 active plugins. What's your stats ?

I bought the book at target. Our local Micheals dies carry other books in the series.

There's a lot of talk about GM skills, but one player skill that is seldom talked about (excluding our side of things) is player skill, and having proactive characters is one of them. It's up to the player to make a character that wants to do things, because that's how you get the most out of any game.

The players and the GM all interact. That is the goal. If one is always reacting to the other, youre doing something wrong.

The advice about having active players is good. Perhaps that's partly why it is so seldomly implemented?

Dude... UA-cam will crack the shits at nudity and your gameplay is running around with a follower with her tits out. xD and your thunbnail is those Titties. Be abit safer, they really crack the shits on that stuff.

Go to Jail, directly to jail and your game will crash in jail....

You tried a clean save file with no mods instead ? I use two, one for NORD one for Imperial...

Cool, I like videos that compares similar mods. Personally I did my own comparison long ago and I chose Immersive Citizen, and it never left my load order since. Years later I still get shocked whenever I am exploring the world and I see NPCs from cities far away doing their own thing, like Jenassa showing up to help me in a fight near Falkreath, or seeing Uthgerd visiting Riverwood. I always heard that the mod supposedly conflicts with modded cities or whatever but it still works fine in my 2k mods load order.

You think its some AI mod strangling the scene mechanics of Kodlak...

"If she's still broken, I have another way to fix her" I think about the same with regards the mrs.

Technically as a Werewolf you should go about your business unidentifiable... kill or not how do they know who to fine ?
