A place where Game Masters, Dungeon Masters, Storytellers, Narrators, Referees (and etc) can gather and ask questions. Uncertain of where to take the story? Want to spice up your big baddie? Encounters? That player? Ask away!
And if you have questions about becoming a Game Master you are most welcome with those as well!
Rules
- Be civil. Be kind. Treat each other with love and respect.
- No question too small, no conundrum too complicated. Ask away.
- If system is relevant to your worries do mention it.
- If you post a link do add a few lines why it is helpful.
- No piracy or illegal content. Do not link to, request or encourage piracy or any other illegal content or activities.
- If your question, or answer, contains mature themes mark it NFSW.

Curse of Strahd (5e) has one page on the "Marks of Horror" (pg7) and how to run that as a GM. It gives a broad strokes overview on what makes things scary and tense. Not very useful from a mechanical standpoint, but very informative for styling your GMing and making the things you hand out a little more impactful. Definitely recommend checking it out!

Alrighty! Thanks! I'll check it out!
