The social element of the game is definitely something that's hard to explain or give examples of, and I agree that it bears examination - whether or not a game uses "active" role-play, the process of conveying information to and from players will inevitably involve social complications.Fuzzy Skinnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10606454596061907461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871409676946408069.post-71643782691700555912018-04-12T10:20:01.605-06:002018-04-12T10:20:01.605-06:00You're quite welcome!

As I mention in the 'cast, you know you're in the zone when the players are thinking within the framework of the game, rather than an outside point of view. When I think back on things, when ever people have mentioned it was a particularly fun, moving, or satisfying session, that seems to have been a prerequisite for success.Baron Opalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07035904533197305820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871409676946408069.post-88927904915064299312018-04-09T16:18:09.454-06:002018-04-09T16:18:09.454-06:00Great stuff!

I can especially relate to your feeling responsible as the DM to keep players engaged and to run a great game that the players will love every single time. As DMs we should set high expectations of ourselves, but we also need to be forgiving of ourselves when we fall flat. This is near the top of the list of things I struggle with myself.
