I avoid it like the plague because it stresses me out, I don&#8217;t feel like I do a good job, and I don&#8217;t have experience in it. However, for Turn, I have very clear ideas on how the game should work. It&#8217;s the only game I&#8217;ve run 4 sessions of, ever. But I didn&#8217;t write any of these ideas<i> down<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>So, when John and I went to the lake cabin (my parents&#8217;), he asked me a ton of questions. I answered as best I could, and realized I kind of had to write all of it down. Since then I&#8217;ve been adding text to the Turn document like wild! I have a lot of ideas for how to solve the little issues people have come up with before I made the changes, but I have no idea if they&#8217;ll work for people other than me.<\/p>\n<p>To some kind of credit, I did try out the first draft of the &#8220;how to set up Turn&#8221; the other night and it went awesomely. I even did the new Session 0! And it worked great. I&#8217;ve added some detail since then, so I hope it&#8217;ll work. Here&#8217;s some things I wrote about, which are in addition to the materials I&#8217;d already written:<br \/><b><\/b><br \/><b>Character Creation<\/b><br \/>This has guidance on helping the players answer questions about their characters, how to handle animal groups, a note on NPCs, and special rules for some of the roles. It&#8217;s stuff that I know will come up, but didn&#8217;t write down. Some of this is just hard to figure out how to word, or I hadn&#8217;t had time to put on paper. Some things I just didn&#8217;t know needed written guidance, but it did &#8211; like the special rules for the Late Bloomer or the NPCs. But, now it&#8217;s written down!<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-0inpqReHnhU\/WxCKBuYwvTI\/AAAAAAAB7bc\/OSiEMHB7mwYacGc_nOm5ac4U0kVZbyjhwCEwYBhgL\/s1600\/IMG_20180525_204122.jpg?ssl=1\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Two sheets of paper, one titled &quot;The Beastborn&quot; and the other &quot;A Wolf,&quot; with various details of the characters on it \" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"1200\" data-original-width=\"1600\" height=\"480\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-0inpqReHnhU\/WxCKBuYwvTI\/AAAAAAAB7bc\/OSiEMHB7mwYacGc_nOm5ac4U0kVZbyjhwCEwYBhgL\/s640\/IMG_20180525_204122.jpg?resize=640%2C480&#038;ssl=1\" title=\"\" width=\"640\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 640px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 640\/480;\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">The Beastborn and Wolf character sheets for John&#8217;s character in my new game, created by <a href=\"http:\/\/jw-sheldon.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">John W.

It directs the Storyteller to the Beginning Your Game section and then walks them through a structured first couple scenes. I&#8217;m really pleased with it and when I tested it out it went amazingly well, for someone like me to run, so I&#8217;m glad it&#8217;s on paper. I had to really separate out what was important in a first session, and I think that this meets it &#8211; connecting the characters, placing them within the town, and establishing the personality of the characters.<\/p>\n<p><b>Running an Average Session<\/b><br \/>This covers the typical things a Storyteller will encounter in a session of Turn. Some people had expressed they weren&#8217;t sure how to engage stress or how to run beast scenes, so I wrote up some details on that to get people really on the same page. This involved writing up how you should pepper each session with mundanity &#8211; everyday tasks that will stress out shifters &#8211; and beast issues like territory and habitat struggles.<\/p>\n<p>I also included a Storyteller Session Checklist that makes sure that there are NPC to PC connections, PC to PC connections, gossip, mundane vignettes, and beast scenes alongside the human scenes everyone leans to. I&#8217;m pleased with it!<\/p>\n<p><b>Tracking Goals<\/b><br \/>This section was to make more concrete guidance on how to handle players trying to achieve goals. It includes guidance on using progress bars based on difficulty, and how that comes across for each goal. I needed to give a more solid way to mark and record this so that there wouldn&#8217;t be unfair imbalance in how quickly some goals were achieved. Plus, this way the Storyteller can have visual representation of the progress.<\/p>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-WLiwBdDDna4\/WxCKB9txpoI\/AAAAAAAB7b0\/c62f6fjkQbUpTdV7XlUSu-xxmNApfLopQCEwYBhgL\/s1600\/IMG_20180525_204043174.jpg?ssl=1\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"The top of two pieces of paper titled &quot;The Beastborn&quot; and &quot;A Wolf,&quot; with text describing the character following.\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"1600\" data-original-width=\"1200\" height=\"640\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-WLiwBdDDna4\/WxCKB9txpoI\/AAAAAAAB7b0\/c62f6fjkQbUpTdV7XlUSu-xxmNApfLopQCEwYBhgL\/s640\/IMG_20180525_204043174.jpg?resize=480%2C640&#038;ssl=1\" title=\"\" width=\"480\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 480px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 480\/640;\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">A closeup of the character sheets &#8211; wolves have packs in the game, did you know? by <a href=\"http:\/\/jw-sheldon.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">John W.

I fixed that, and then wrote up some rules on how Storytellers will use a progress bar to help shifters reintegrate with their own group or find a new group, based on difficulty. I think that this, the explanation of exposure, and my new guidance on beast scenes will help Storytellers more actively engage that material.<br \/><i><\/i><i><\/i><br \/>&#8211;<br \/>Overall this has been a heck of a lot of work. This is only the ONE section, out of all of the ones in my bulleted list up top. The thing is, I&#8217;m not really changing rules for 90% of this &#8211; I&#8217;m just explaining stuff. More of this whole project is explaining things than I ever thought it&#8217;d be, and I&#8217;ll tell you, I&#8217;m hoping that this makes a difference when people get into the text!<\/p>\n<p>One of the hardest things I&#8217;ve had to do is make guidance for Storytellers. It&#8217;s not something I do a lot, and honestly, a lot of people in that role are people I don&#8217;t actually enjoy working with (just a personality thing, maybe?). I don&#8217;t necessarily want Storytellers in Turn to work the same way a D&amp;D GM would, or even a Fate GM. I want them to care a lot more. It&#8217;s a heavy workload to run the game, by many people&#8217;s counts, especially for a &#8220;story game&#8221; sort of game &#8211; but I wouldn&#8217;t have it any other way.<\/p>\n<p>I started a game on Friday as Storyteller, and we have a fantastic group of a Late Bloomer otter, a Showoff raven, and a Beastborn wolf in a town full of intrigue because the shifters know who each other are<i> and<\/i> there&#8217;s formal shifter culture, and it&#8217;s incredibly exciting to think of the places it could go. I know I&#8217;m gonna have a lot of little progress bars and it&#8217;s gonna be exciting to mark each one off.
