wow it's wild how people can be "alicent didn't tell rhaenyra about viserys cause she was afraid and forced into this shit" which is completely true and fair but then they turn around and act like nyra betrayed alicent's trust because she didn't tell her about the night that her groomer almost got sexual with her? like girl you can't have it both ways

honestly im just happy they confirmed hl2vrai at the end of the stream because the discourse was already starting to get stupid so imagine how bad it would have been if that didn't happen

the issue is i can't see the phrase 'the beast' in any context without thinking of my dog. it's bad. saw an edgy text over painting image on pinterest that said 'the beast comes for us all eventually' and just thought about this fucker

i really think a significant portion of dms just have no clue how to actually pitch their games to get their players on board with the story they want to host which results in. 600 issues. bc you're so absorbed in keeping secrets about the plot that you don't fucking tell them what genre the game is and get mad when they are having a hard time engaging with the genre you made up in ur head.

i think reframing 'writing a campaign' or 'writing a plot' as writing beats has dramatically changed the quality of my dming. for me personally, i work best when i have a world with pieces that would be moving (regardless of whether the players would be there but obviously, you put the players in the crosshairs to effect change) and plan each 2-4 sessions as its own small story and i've developed a method that really works for me that i use for oneshots, mini campaigns, and in arcs for longer games.
Tumblr media
[ID: a screenshot of a bullet point list with template headers: Location, Framing Plot (subheaders Social, Exploration, and Combat), Key NPCS, World Plot Progression, Player Hooks (subheaders repeating Player to be replaced with a PC's name)]
to further explain:
Location(s) — where the sessions will likely take place, so I have a manageable list of places to develop further in terms of worldbuilding.
Framing Plot — What is happening, what is the inciting the incident and what are the things the players cannot control. Then the subheaders are the three tiers of play. I think it's important to have an idea to tap into all of them or lean heavier into what your party is interested in but consider all of them for fun and exciting Mechanical gameplay as well as story and roleplay.
Key NPCS — Who are the NPCS that are going to be important to the framing and to the players. This is usually just a handful.
World Plot Progression — How does / how will the events of this scenario push forward what your players are working towards?
Player Hooks — Specific thoughts for how to connect the framing plot to each player character and make each player feel invested and like their choices matter.
and that's what I do to plot out my games. It's never "this is how things will resolve" it is, "this is what the situation is and this is how i want to connect my players to it and see what they do"
