A GM and an author are quite similar in the group Matthew D. Brown (Author): 7 years, 1 month agoWhen you think about it, a GM and an author are quite similar. Both are telling a story. The only difference is the medium and the audience.

Matthew Brown replied to the topic How did you develop the idea for your current work in progress? in the forum General Chat 7 years, 1 month ago
I’m currently working on a comedy sci-fi set in space.
The idea started as a three-page description of all the ways the squad of unit Treble-Six were useless. Beta readings saw people laughing several times a page but I was stuck on developing it. So it sat and gathered dust for a year or so.
Then one day a friend and I binge watched a lot…Read more

Why would you advise people to cause a TPK? in the forum TPK – Roleplay encounters and advice 7 years, 1 month agoI’m sorry you lost a much-loved character, but that sounds like a poor GM combined with some bad teamwork. Come on, everyone knows that you protect your healer while trying to take down the other group’s healer. Why were your tanks and DPS characters not shielding your cleric?
