Think of themes as something that you apply *after* the fact, in retrospect. After all, you don't think of your current personal life in terms of theme, do you? You would if you were writing a memoir though. Basic is good! Lots of design space to work with (for instance, think of dawn, not dusk)

Look for hooks in the *emergent* story of your adventures. Too much focus has been centered on creating an interesting backstory with pre-planned hooks for the DM to exploit. The interesting stories happen with the adventures yet to be, not your past.

Many people point to drama techniques as the touchstones for the thespian aspect of RPGs, but I think stand-up comedians are a better inspiration (particularly the ones that focus on the audience participation kind).

Gotcha! players. Players who find an exploit/combo in the rules and keep it secret from the GM until they're ready to blast it to derail the game. Optimizers (the good variety) don't go for the gotcha moment.

The name being the first thing that is worse. D&D 2024 is worst naming convention.

Protesting in the most pro-democrat neighborhood in the city? Effective.... not.

This just popped up on my Facebook feed: Khara Khoto western Inner Mongolia, China. Established in 1032. Did you have this in mind for that great wall?

Nor linear, nor railroad, nor anything else. We lack the shared metadata descriptors for these and so many other components of RPGs (including 'what is an RPG').

We always have a minimum of 8 players in my family when we play games on the holidays. There are not enough 8+ player games!!!

It's not that sandbox proponents can't describe sandboxes. NOBODY can.

This isn't exactly it, but what I saw was similar, but more bestial and less equine. www.deviantart.com/aicreat0rja/...
