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.
