GREAT GM: 121 & 122 technique explained - Storytelling for your rpg session - game master tips

I don't like to call "love intrest phase' a "love intrest phase". I usually call it "attatchment phase" and it doesn't have to be an attatchment to a person. It can be an attatchment to the whole village, city or group of people. A wide net makes it easier to catch players into relations.

"Tentacles are involved somewhere " Yep, that's a bumper sticker waiting to happen ! :) Another great video sir.

8:14 Midpoint of the video, and he's talking about the midpoint of campaigns

"Remain flexible." "Knowing how to tell a good story allows you to sit back and not plan the whole thing." Absolutely shockingly good advice.

Thank you very much for these videos. I've been trying to restart a campaign after a two year break. My issue was writer's block. However, I've realized from all of your wonderful videos - that the real issue is that I have no idea how to tell a good story. After this realization, ideas and structure have been flowing as if broken from a dam. You have no idea how much joy this is bringing me.

Our DM gave us the gift of a puppy eating an apple. Half the party instantly fell completely in love with him. His name is Benson. <3 He's like a little puppy bard. He can bark and scare the enemy or give the party puppy inspiration.

As someone trying to GM for the first time I found this video incredibly helpful for crafting my first story. I feel a lot more confident about fleshing it out now.

Sir, your content has been extremely helpful. I stumbled across this channel at just the right time. I've GM'ing for a little while now, though I still view myself as a novice. My group is happy....so we must be doing something right. You're vids have recently helped me through a brief creative slump. Thanks so much for making these. I've recently subbed and will continue to charge through your content. Please keep it coming.

Those lights are really hot. You can get a small, quiet fan. That might help.

You should make audio books.

Thanks for the video! For D&D, story is a byproduct of gameplay. It's a roleplaying game where players, through their PCs, take actions and the DM informs them of the consequences, sometimes with the assistance of rolled dice for randomness. There is no plot. Whatever happens during the game becomes the story retroactively. I've been running D&D games since 1974 through all editions and countless other RPGs. I've run them all this way and it works if the DM trusts the players and gives them the agency to take actions through their PCs and allow the dice to fall where they may. Trust yourself. The most amazing things can happen if you get your ideas of story out of the way.

An excellent follow up to your pacing video. I really appreciate how you hammered on story, with gentle reminders that we don’t need to plan it all out but to let it naturally flow from the gameplay and the excitement level of the players.

Hey keep it up, this channel makes me feel like I can give my players the fun they deserve.

Awesome tips sir, thank you so much!

This is a great break down of the three act structure and 121 & 122! Thank you!

I really love your series, your way of explaining is excellent. Thankyou from someone who is thinking of GM'ing and how to put it together. Liked and subbed right away.

dude your videos are awesome, filled with great information and right to the point

How did I miss this video?!? Great video!

Goodness, at one point there were only 1000 subscribers on this channel. Still high quality back then.

Just want to say, as I shelter in place, I have been watching one of your videos every day. I view these great videos as an online class. Thanks for much.
