Re: How do you prepare for a new game?
I made a google form once to help me understand what my players were excited about. It only came up because I hadn't got anything in particular in mind to run, and wanted a way to help them articulate what they actually wanted (can be a challenge). I found the results illuminating, and the resulting campaign was probably my most sterling success (and is still running). I wonder if anybody else has tried this or something like it?
The link is to the form: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...k2cnc6MQ#gid=0 |

Of course it means there's always one newbie each session so there's not time to explain much more than GURPS Lite. The redeeming feature is that there's some inter-player commitment - "deadline or no, we need a thief next Sunday for that chest!" - so it's no longer just me browbeating them into coming. Now if I could only get them to keep track of the clues and dreams that get lost in the shuffle from session to session! |
