    Person, place or thing? What do you use to get started?

    ByScot Newbury March 23, 2015March 23, 2015

    Plot Hooks – be careful not to have too many

    ByScot Newbury March 16, 2015March 16, 2015

      I came across another interesting post at Reality Refracted talking about plot hooks and asking the question, “How many should you have?” A.L. does a great job of making the argument that you should have as many plot hooks as you can handle as a GM: If possible, the GM should have infinite plot hooks…

    Use a burn down list to keep from running out of ideas

    ByScot Newbury March 9, 2015March 9, 2015

      When I came across the above tweet from SlyFlourish in my feed the other day I tagged it as something to follow-up on as it hit a nerve with me. In one of my many roles at my day job I manage projects and tweet speaks to a tool used in Agile Project Management…

    The power of three

    ByScot Newbury March 3, 2015March 5, 2023

    Today marks a rather special convergence, at least for me anyway. This is my 300th post on the blog, it falls on 3/3 and today, at 3:30, I have an appointment to pick up a ‘new’ to me vehicle – that’s a lot of threes and must mean something. To be honest, the number three…

    Add a little flavor to your tavern

    ByScot Newbury March 2, 2015March 5, 2023

    “You meet at the local tavern . . . . . . . ” How many times have you heard that at the gaming table? The tavern is one of those locations that every game seems to have and frequently used as a stop over, a way of meeting a contact, or just picking up…

    Rest well Mr. Spock

    ByScot Newbury February 27, 2015March 5, 2023

    Today the world lost an icon. Leonard Nimoy will always be remembered as Spock, I know that’s the first thing that comes to mind when I hear the name. While that is far from the sum of everything he was, that legacy will carry on and it is my hope that my children and grand…
