19 Tips I Wish I Knew When I Started GMing - Running RPGs

About

Author. Game Master. Lover of nerdly things. My channel has won the 2019, 2023, and 2025 ENNIE Tabletop RPG Award. I mostly talk about Tabletop RPGs. My sidekick is Jack the NPC. MY REVIEW POLICY: I won't review a game until I've personally played it. I won't play it unless I believe it's a good fit for my group. In short — I review what we play, and we play what we enjoy. I will not do "sponsored reviews" (i.e. paid infomercials pretending to be reviews). Free product in no way guarantees a positive review, or even a review at all. If I read it and don't feel it's a good fit for us, we won't play it. Or it might not fit into our play schedule or current campaign. I already have more games and adventures I want to play than I have time. Most of them I purchased on my own and very much want to play. I'm not seeking new games to play. I'm not seeking submissions for reviews. Despite this, I receive an average of 5 review submissions a week. I accept less than 1 a year.
