I am apparently famous in HackMasterVille or something. The reason for all the recent comments to 'Awesome Up' is a four page thread at the KenzerCo boards entitled How NOT to run a game.

ReplyDeleteDon't worry, I'm not even heading to look at the HM boards, just wanted to let you know that not all the people you reached were anti-fun. ;)
From part of that thread over on the HM boards:
ReplyDelete"Most of it is very... subjective."
Holy shit! Someone posting something subjective! In their own blog!
The amount of objective GMing advice I can offer is very small.
ReplyDelete*Don't eat the dice.
*Don't set the players on fire.
*Always wear a condom.
That's about it.
