Weaving Stories: An interesting mechanic for the GM to stay in control of the plot(s), no matter what the players do (ttrpgs.com)

This is an interesting blog post by @[email protected] about how to weave multiple stories/plots together in an interesting way, which makes it possible to organically "catch" the players even if they wander off in an unexpected (read: unprepped) direction.

This can be used in any #TTRPG, but it can also be turned into a mechanic, built into an #TTRPG. It reminds me of Fronts (I think they're called) in #DungeonWorld.

This is fairly simple way to prep a sandbox. Basic is good when it comes to prep.

Yeah, I thought it was an interesting approach.
