Get everyone at the table feeling more invested and in control, yet more delightfully surprised at what happens next.Want to learn some techniques that will leave everyone stunned at how well a session brought their characters and their visions to life? Here to help is The GMTim! He runs about 10 games a month, writes adventures, and constantly discovers new ways to push his skills as a Game Master. We are so excited to have him share his skills with us in this episode.To get some of The GMTims powerful techniques for running great games, we start off in The Strategy Stateroom. Our conversation covers a lot of great ground. He shares how he gets players involved with each other and the world right off the hop with a round circle minigame, how he keeps players minds moving by having them inhabit different NPC's when it works, how he never stops asking questions of the players to discover what game they want to play, and more. There's some gold here, folks.Then we head over to The Heroes Stage to find out what projects The GMTim is working on, what we can look forward to, and how we can join him in some creativity expanding journeys right now!Follow @thegmtim on twitter or instagramCheck out his websiteLearn more and join his Appendix: Lit book clubWatch Star Trek: Lost Voyages every second sunday at 7:30 pm Pacific Time
