Raw Notes from Session -1 of CampaignNext

Core elements of one of my games:

• Ethical GMing
• Sandbox Playstyle/Player Agency paramount
• Character-focused plots
• Verisimilitude
• Homework

Important: Escape from the real world & having fun with friends

Expectations of Me as GM:

Caroline: Maintaining NPCs and consistency; make sure the game progresses with an occasional nudge when we’re stuck

Felicia: 3 things out of a Narrative GM:

1. Understanding character motivation
2. Facilitate roleplaying opportunities
3. Leaving space for interparty character interactions

Brittannie: Guidance & advice

Bobby: Prelude/Prologue is important; regularly talking OOCly about how the GM is feeling about the game

Sam: Agree with Caroline & Felicia; want to run ideas past the GM
