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.

I usually just copy paste historical (flawed) stuff I find interesting.
While I like goofing around with stuff like "modeling functioning government", I believe it distracts from the PC's stories (and leads to ideological discussions at the table.)
I think that it could distract in the forefront, certainly. However, the ideological discussion it sparked in character was a great moment for everyone to roleplay according to their differing values and cultures between them and the locals and between each other. Therefore, in our case, it worked quite well.
