This OLD DnD DM Guide is AMAZING 

"OLD" DnD DM Guide. *From the 90s* Dies of old age.

I still struggle a lot with giving my players true agency. I want the story to be good and make sense. But last session I noticed that the tavern visit I had to completely improvise was the most fun part of the evening. So for next session I'm trying to do it as free form as possible ✨

Wow, so much good advice in the video and the old Catacomb Guide! Thanks for sharing. It's so important to remember that we're all just people living in a stressful world. D&D is awesome and fun, but the people at your table are probably your friends and/or family and your relationships with them more important than any specific thing about the game. Such wise advice from way back in 1990!

The dm is a playwrite who has control and responsibility for all aspects of the play…except the lead actors.

You crossed my feed, so I took a look. "You should arborate the rules fairly" - that earned you a sub! A wise sage once said "If you can't do it slow, then you can't do it fast." AD&D was my first, back in the late 80's, that Gygaxian-Arnesonian balance exists even to this day. Those old resources are still foundational to the entirety of RPGs in one manner or another. Agree 100% about the ease-in time to a session, but will add that an ease-out time at the end can be nice too. Both being *part* of the session run-time, not just for those who showed up early or stayed late. The best Player Agency games seem to hit on the Arnesonian side, more Character Centric where the PCs are in charge of the narrative direction and face the obstacles in their way, and consequences of their actions. The GM being the facilitator of the gaming experience and the arbitrator of the rules, setting up those reasonable and relevant obstacles. Gas your PCs as they gas each other. This is found in the more "narrative" RPGs, but can be applied to any RPG.

Just finding your page love the content!

Opening Ceremony is something I wanted to implement in-person and got pushback on it from friends so the game never got off the ground. I wanted to cook a "camp dinner" and have us sit around and eat together in-character and simulate us around the campfire to get us immersed. I even had a foraging/hunting mechanic that suggested what goes into the food (likely stew and bread most times) because we were going to do a survival heavy game. I still like the idea and will try in the future, but getting into character and ready to roleplay is important.

Still useful information
