@SJohnRoss I agree, but also wince at the memory of all the players I've had to "retrain" because other #gamemasters taught them to rely on #NPCs for faultless exposition.

Encountered a few overly-online takes about professional #DungeonsAndDragons #GameMasters getting paid.

Most of them argue that #TTRPG experiences should be shared between friends for free.

Gives me vibes of "creatives shouldn't expect as much compensation as they ask. It is enjoyable work, almost a hobby."

Enjoyable work = work, & should be valued as such. Devaluing it is disrespectful to those that do that work for us for free.

Our friends are giving us all a gift when they run for us.

This is my second non-European sourced set extracted from 日廣東輿圖 (Map of Guangdong), an atlas and gazetteer depicting the various settlements and locations of the Chinese province of Guangdong during the Qing dynasty.

Once again sincerely apologizing to every #TTRPG #GM I've ever had for being physically incapable of ever *not* writing a novella-length backstory and description for any of my #PCs

I was recently reminded of this one of my #TTRPG #CharacterBuildCommandments :
"The sight of thy character sheet must not cause the GM's head to hurt, nor shalt thou build in such a manner that thy turns take three times that of thy neighbors."

What commandments do my fellow #GameMasters have to add to the list?

#CharacterCreation #PlayerAdvice
