GM Tip: Don't take yourself too seriously. Your players will probably find some childish way to mock whatever awesome name, scene or character you came up with. Just roll with it. #ttrpg #dnd #rpg - ThreadSky

In the campaign I just started in Starfinder, I introduced the captain who is named Julian. Within 5 seconds a player had queued up I like to move it to play every time I said his name as a reference to Madagascar
That's now just a thing in this game.

While many of my games don't take themselves seriously, there's a place for more serious or darker tones. Like many things, it's a group concern and something that everyone should agree to at the beginning of the game.

idk i'd probably feel pretty disrespectful if i myself or the others in the group mocked my gm's creativity or world-building

don't take yourself too seriously is always good advice, though.

you should not be planning scenes in the first place as a GM, but also what about just asking your players not to act like dicks that throw tomatoes at you like trained monkey chained up for their entertainment, and if not, they don't have a GM
