GM Merit Badges
August 22, 2011A wonderful idea from Strange Magic, GM merit badges to help you fame your GMing style. I think mine would run:
Usually, My games are more of the Social, Fun and “Beer & Pretzels” style. After all, we game to have fun, yes?
My games rely on a lot of Improvisation rather than pre scripted content. I work best with minimal scripting.
My games will tell an interesting Story, at least in retrospect.
I will Mirror back player ideas I think are interesting in the game. After all, they usually come up with wonderful ideas too.
Characters in my games are Destined for greatness, not random death. Though being stupid will still get you killed.
Depending on the game, genre and players, my games can be:
My games are Gonzo and can include a lot of strangeness.
My games can be Scary.
But usually not both at once.
A fun exercise. Go visit Strange Magic and see what fits your style.
