Our GM Academy attempts to create a “Community of Practice” through which novices can systematically learn through trial and error, and share their wisdom with other GMs. Our Head of Education described this quite eloquently here... give it a read! bringingfire.com/blog/a-comm…

Becoming a GM involves a particular kind of learning called “social learning” – basically, learning to do what you see other people doing.

Of course, this is just an overview of a fundamental cycle we could spend much more time discussing. If you want to learn more, check out the blog below! #TTRPG #ttrpgcommunity #ttrpgtech bringingfire.com/blog/descri…

Judge - Judgment is not just about interpreting the outcome of a die roll or other game-mechanical procedure, but also about making the decision as to what procedure to employ at all. These are broken down into the categories of karma, drama, or fortune.

Listen - We aim to teach GM's to listen not to confirm what you already know but to reshape your own understanding and generate surprise and novelty. It takes practice, but is rewarding. Try recording a session you run listening back on conversation you might have overlooked

Describe - You need to get people on the same page in terms of what they are imagining together, to establish a shared sense of situation so that actions/intentions make sense in the context of the game. Using all the senses, and sharing NPC's perspective is key here.

One of the first lessons we teach in our GM101 sessions is the “Describe, Listen, Judge” cycle. DLJ is a comprehensive framework for understanding what a GM does, and a tool that helps diagnose and correct hiccups and miscommunication at the level of play. Let's break them down🧵

Rome wasn’t built in a day… or a month But we made some big strides this past month. Sharing a high level look here… Stay tuned for a full recap of October coming soon. Appreciate those following along as we build a next-level #TTRPG campaign composer! mailchi.mp/bringingfire/brin…
