I am a Christian, a pastor, whose native culture is “geek.” My cultural touchstones are Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, Dragonlance, Discworld, Role-Playing Games, and Star Wars.
And both the religious and cultural communities of which I am part are filled with what are known as “rules lawyers.”
Tuesday I had a rather random thought. Running a table top role playing game holds a lot of similarities with pastoring.
I’ve been playing TTRPG’s again for not even two years, my collection of games has grown.
Whenever a new player joins the group, it’s always a fun challenge to create a narrative reason for their character to appear.
I explored narrating an encounter in-between sessions.
One of the things with which GM’s will sometimes struggle is creating decent story hooks to launch players into their adventures. This is where Lands of Legends-Mundane Areas/Encounters, by Axian Spice, offers some help.
