I wanted to take a moment to recognize our South Carolina Venture-Captain, Del Collins, as the newest member to the ranks of 5 star GMs. He has surpassed 165 games GMed and finally met the requirement for the special and exclusives GMed.
Congratulations on a job well done Del!

Thanks for the kind words they are most appreciated.
Top Ten Tips for GMs old and new – nothing new here and not in any particular order:
- MOST IMPORTANT – Have fun! It’s a hobby and is meant to be fun and educational.
- Be confident.
- Be prepared and organized.
- Be ready for the unexpected.
- Know the rules or know where to go to find the ones you don’t.
- Be prepared to make mistakes and learn from them.
- Be prepared to have to ask for help from time to time.
- Be able to say a proper thank you or a proper apology and be sincere – one comes in handy for times like this that can be few and far between and the other comes in handy when you just TPKed a party of characters that people spent years building up.
For those untrained: A proper thank you begins with “thanks”, explains what you are thanking someone for and ends with affection; and a proper apology begins with “sorry”, explains what you are apologizing for and ends with affection. If you don’t mean it – don’t say it!
- Be creative and if you can make a few funny voices it doesn’t hurt.
- Remember you are not a referee or a narrator you’re a story creator – if you’re a good guide the players will create a wonderful journey for their characters to participate in and take you along with them for a few hours.
May your dice always roll in your favor!

How the hell did I miss this post? I come back to the mountain after a brief trip and find someone squatting in my room! It was probably all those threads about bacon and candy..
Congratulations and welcome to the pinnacle of perfection! It's customary to bring a gift with you when you reach the top. What'd you bring us? The heads of a dozen slain PCs? Fermented player tears? Confetti consisting of torn up character sheets?

I'll bring you some dice and lots of bad puns.
