i just love how #TTRPGs just write themselves sometimes.
here's two things that happened in the latest sessions of both of my groups, one i'm a GM and the other i'm a player.

in the session i GM'd, one player was trying to convince the other players of a quite important decision, something that's gonna be risky for their crew but help them propegate their message of hope against the system to the wider populace - the theme of our campaign. and just as the player's starting to say just how important is the message to the whole galaxy - it's a star wars inspired game that i very lazily DJ with star wars music - the force theme comes up. literally felt like i'm in a movie.

and in the group where i'm a player, we had a set of six puzzle rooms with very different difficulties and styles. we solved them one after the other in an order that felt perfectly poetic to me - the easiest first, four of medium difficulty, then one that almost killed us, then finishing with a simple but sentimental one that put a perfect narrative bow on the session. it was so perfect i wanted to compliment the GM not only for the puzzles, but for the progression. only turns out that progression was not predetermined - the puzzles were chosen by the rooms we chose to enter, not preplanned with a specific order. the perfect narrative of it all just happened on its own, completely at random.

i love this hobby.

Go Easy On Yourself

Go easy on yourself. Your game doesn't have to be perfect. Your voices don't need to be spot on. It's fine to look things up in your books at the table or ask your friends for clarification on a rule....
