That darn digital divide...

 This is less a rules based, mechanical kind of observation.

My players had reached this fever pitch of drama in our current Kult adventure (which we started for Halloween, but it keeps going).  One of the characters, Paige, a teenager, slipped out to go drinking with his friends in the abandoned amusement park next to his house.  Another character, who plays Paige's uncle (Logan) is also Paige's "guardian" as Paige is a cult survivor and his father, played by another player (Theo), is a drunk.  Theo and Logan went looking for Paige, saw some weird stuff, leading them to believe that the cult is back in action, and then suddenly, their GPS tracker showed that Paige was back home.  For Paige it had all been a dream, but for the characters it had been a harrowing experience complete with psychotic transients and weird man-eating cockroaches.

 So, they bust into Paige's bedroom to confront him about what he was doing out in the park.  Mind you, that was all a dream for him, so their acting crazy.   Plus, Theo is clearly drunk because Kult is kind of "Disfunction: The Role-Playing Game," and the uncle is openly admitting to having put trackers on his teenage nephew.  I think anyone who is or has ever been a teenager is going to find that a little problematic.  Plus it really is 2 in the AM and they've woken the kid up from a dead sleep.

The players begin to Role Play this!  And that's when my damned internet cuts out.

So, I text them and go downstairs and reset the router and then my computer won't find the internet, so all of this takes forever and a day, and I come back, and it is only then that my players realize that I've been gone the whole time and have missed what, according to them, may have been the best role playing of their lives.  We're all in our late 40s.  I've been playing with all of these guys since high school.  One of them since I was 10!

Curse you Spectrum!

Dungeon World Move, Dungeon Crawl

When a character looks for the best geographical path to their goal, Roll+Wisdom.  On a 10+, the GM sets a good path to their character's goals that avoids unnecessary encounters (this should cut the number of encounters to half or third of an exhaustive search).  The Players may pick three encounter possibilities from the list below to be part of their Dungeon Crawl.  On a 7-9, the characters have a sense of where they are going and may choose one encounter possibility form the list below to be part of their Dungeon Crawl, so long as they don't deviate from that path, they will avoid most unecessary encounters.  On a 6 or less, the characters path is likely to get them lost (they may miss significant and important encounter possibilities, they may get double back on themselves, they may find themselves back at the entrance after fighting their way in a big circle). Encounter Possibilities: A treasure room/horde A strange encounter that is potentially helpful in a bi...

Big to small; Small to Big

Uncharted Worlds has a combat system that isn't really designed for the kind of game I play.  That being said, I like Uncharted Worlds a lot.  So, I generally replace the combat system with the rules from Kult or Dungeon World.  That's one of the great things about these games.  If you want a "Keep It Together" roll in Dungeon World or Sprawl, it's not hard to implement (and might work best for things like Fear spells).   Here is the difference between Uncharted Worlds combat and that of, say, Dungeon Planet.  In Uncharted Worlds, you make one roll, and that decides how well you did in the combat.  It's useful for mass combats where the character is really one of many troopers.  I don't think it works well on the individual level where you want to know how well Character X is doing. N Sometimes, however, I'm uninterested in the little nuances of the moment.  I just want to know if army A beats army B, and in that case, its worthwhile to ...

When the group doesn't or shouldn't form

This consideration is actually born from games, during which the player characters don't make a whole lot of sense together as a group, and to me, this really does seem to encompass most games.  Questions then arise: what contrivance should the GM do to bring everyone together?  Should the players design their characters with the group in mind?  Is it okay to have sessions where the characters are separated, and if so, how do you handle that?  Do you need multiple GMs?  Should you employ cut scenes or hand outs providing synopsis?  And finally, what do you do when one character learns something that the rest of characters couldn't: do you tell them anyway, keep it secret, or something else? The problem here actually begins at that long list of questions because a good game is about story and stories do not always have the main characters working as a team standing next to each other the whole time.  In fact, in most stories this just doesn't happen at ...
