GM support group 1

Welcome to the inaugural GM support group! These episodes have a slightly different format to our usual ones; we just sit around and yarn about what's recently been top of mind in our campaigns.

We talk about what it's like when players or GMs have off days; the reality that it can be really hard work to run a campaign (but is ultimately totally worth it); how difficult it can be to let go of your world and let your players basically ruin everything; how you might tie in characters motivations to your story; and how it can be tricky to gauge how your party are finding things. 

New episodes of Tycho's Tales are released every Tuesday at 5 pm GMT (or, for the Kiwis, every Wednesday at 6 am NZST). Find us at:
