Ian Mitchell, Ministry of Fun's page

Receiving a message here on the boards from a brand-new player who is now hooked on PFS because he walked up and had a great experience at your low-level table at a recent Con.

There is nothing better in PFS than that e-mail.

This is why I mainly run the low level tables. I want them to have a good first experience. I tip my hat to the local folks and their GM 101 class. I took 3 points away from it on GMing.

1. Keep it fun.
2. Keep it moving.
3. Make sure everyone has a chance to show off their characters awesomeness. (everyone gets a chance in the spotlight).

Local society people are still trying to get me to make my first character who will be starting at lvl 8. I have more fun GMing.

Hey on many of my sheets I didn't put in a gm faction. Is it possible to change that later?

a game where all my players had fun.

Yes!

My table rules:

Fun is Good. Not Fun is Bad.

I don't know if it was a triumph, but I had a session recently where I had one player standing at the end (the rest of the party was in varying levels of neg). Seeing the shock on the player who thought his AC and HP were high enough to make him safe and putting him down with back to back 20's on the table. Hearing players talk about it the following week.

Having the players thank me for running the session most evenings.

Having the players stabilize all the town guards they defeated in the party sneaks across the Horde city scenario.

Having a group of players see me, smile and drag me over to their table so I could run their scenario for the evening.

Being the first GM a new player has in society and seeing them come back again - That's probably the best.

**Yeah! I got my second start last night...**

Hmm. Still working on it. Just got my 2nd GM star last night and I still haven't finished making a society character.
