Nice job, dude.
You've GMed hither and yon. (Well, more like yon and yon.) What do you think are the important variables for a GM to pay attention to, from one PFS community to another?
What would you conder some of your GMing highlights, so far?
Well, I'm getting hitherer; I think I'm just on the other side of the midwest from you now. But I've done both coasts, at least, and a bunch online since I got to Ohio (too far from local gamedays). Each play community has its own "personality", but it's been my experience that as long as you can keep up your stage patter, the rest falls in line--it can make a completely bumbled combat look like a comedy of errors that your players really enjoy. Not that I've ever completely bumbled a combat! (Cough, cough.)
I have enjoyed almost all my games and I could never choose a favorite and blah blah blah! But I think the funniest was when I ran The Forgotten Laboratory at ConDor for Eric Brittain and a few of the zanier San Diego players who I can't remember because it was the Sunday of the con and I was feverish with appendicitis (although I (obviously) didn't know that until the next day). The scenario went fairly well and was straightforward until the end, at which point it devolved into a ridiculous game of chase around the circle due to a lot of stealth and a few clever tactics. It got to the point where someone actually pulled up calliope music on their phone, and it was absolutely perfect. And I think maybe they wound up recruiting the BBEG in the end anyway? It was all a bit surreal.
Either way, I'm looking forward to running many more--and hopefully at some of the bigger cons, now that I'm actually located near them. Onward and upward, as they say. ;)
