If they want to spend hours having exciting but pointless debates on exactly what the rules entail, free from any real-world consequences or public opprobrium, might I suggest picking up the Pathfinder Gamemastery Guide.

looking thru my old client work and realised i never shared the interior art i did for @weregazelle.itch.io 's CASE & SOUL.

These were chapter illustrations that ran down the side of the page: character creation, allies, missions, downtime, gamemastery, catalogue, the future.

Throw back to around this time two years ago when WotC started making rumbles about negating the OGL leading to me picking up #Pathfinder2E for the first time.

Thanks corporate suits, you helped me find a different amazing system to create content in 🥰

Are you a Dungeon Master?

Are you leveling up your D&D characters too quickly?

Probably!

The Alexandrian is one of my go-to resources for all things regarding running a TTRPG game. His book is a must read for any aspiring Game Master. As is his blogs.

His BG:DIA remix is my favourite!

I have been described as RPG Santa Claus.

I bring gifts. And the gifts are GM tips.

(But I'm guessing the beard also has something to do with it.)

One of my favorite things about GMing #pathfinder2e is how rarely I'm forced to homebrew rules and systems. Character respec, chases, downtime crafting, multiclassing, social influence encounters, army management, and morale bonuses all have published rules. #ttrpg #Gamemastery

Question for Gamemastery Bluesky:

Is it legal to just run La Mulana as a dungeon crawl for people who have never played La Mulana
Can I do this
Will I be arrested by a cop for this
Will I be arrested by an angel for this

There's so much great DMing advice out there.

This video is about how you can actually use it all without becoming completely overwhelmed.

Gary Gygax, Dave Arneson, Brennan Lee Mulligan, and Justin Alexander all run their campaigns differently than you do.

What do they know that you don't?

And what are the five keys you need to unlock these epic campaigns for yourself?

I actually agree with this. Important caveats in replies, but the vast majority of TTRPGs require the GM to be willing and able to provide what the table is looking for. I've played with bad players and still had fun. I've never had fun with a bad GM. #ttrpg #gamemastery

Justin Alexander's (@alexandrian.bsky.social ) blog has some good advice.

Specifically the Gamemastery 101 section: thealexandrian.net/gamemastery-...

It's all good stuff, in fact.

I particularly like the Adventure Connections table, which provides concrete methods for linking one adventure to another.

It's a tool that pairs very well with this:

Two good examples of books that do GM training a lot better: Paizo's GameMastery Guide, which is about 50% Pathfinder nonesense and 50% absolute gold and required reading, and Rivers Of London's TTRPG which spends a good third of the book on actually telling the DM how to run a safe, coherent game.
