    Improving Your Storytelling – Act the part

    ByScot Newbury April 4, 2006May 18, 2012

    At this point you’re probably thinking, “what does this all have to do with improving my storytelling when my role-playing group gets together?” While it is true that I haven’t touched on what most writers and gamers would expect in this group of posts, these topics are very important because storytelling isn’t just the story,…

    Improving Your Storytelling – Describing Locations

    ByScot Newbury March 29, 2006May 18, 2012

    In my last posting (click here) I stated that one of the things you should be doing to improve your storytelling ability is to open up a book and read. While that is important and it allows you to experience others methods of description you have to also do it yourself. Which is why my…

    Improving Your Storytelling – Open a book

    ByScot Newbury March 23, 2006May 18, 2012

    I mentioned yesterday that I was going to start sharing my thoughts on the topic of improving your storytelling as a role-playing GM and the first item I want to share is you need to open a book. Now before you go running off, I mean a reading book, not your gaming rulebooks, not the…

    Improving Your Storytelling

    ByScot Newbury March 22, 2006May 18, 2012

    A common question that seems to be often by GMs regardless of the role-playing system they use is, “how can I be a better storyteller?” The bad news is that I can’t think of one clear cut answer to that question. The good news is that based on the groups I’ve played in and those…

    Mark your figures with discs

    ByScot Newbury January 22, 2006May 18, 2012

    The question often comes up during a role-playing session, “how do I mark a figure on the battle-mat?” Here’s one solution, make discs out of dowels. For those not familiar, dowels are short wooden rods you find in craft stores or in the craft department of your local super-store (for example Walmart). They come in…

    Get Your Anagram Name Online

    ByScot Newbury January 12, 2006May 18, 2012

    I mentioned in an earlier post about using anagrams for your role-playing naming needs (read the post) which can be a lot of fun but what if you need a name in a hurry? Grab a name book? Given that those names are modern and common they won’t really work for most role-playing systems (a…
