Write up of the 'above the table' social aspects of DMing open tables from a DM's meeting our group had - touching on

- player engagement (dealing with stuns and deaths)
- DMs having fun (and not having to do the not fun bits)
- telling people what they are signing up for (content disclaimers)
- avoiding anti-social characters when you do not know the other players well

#3GoodThings

It rained a bit earlier, but turned into a glorious, sunny, early spring day this afternoon.

Still on a high after all of yesterday's fun with Kid1 at the #TTRPG convention.

Trying, and largely failing, to contain Kid2 in the kitchen while marveling at the tasty (and super messy) results.

Folks, I don't know what to say. I'm here alone at KBFL. Everyone else is trying to get home to their families or out of the city. I have no family nearby since Mrs. McCann ran off with that voice-over guy and this station has been my home for twenty years. The doors are locked and this place is as safe as I can make it. I've liberated the little .22 pistol the station boss kept in his desk just in case one of us DJs went postal while on air. My plan is to keep broadcasting as long as possible and if those bastards come for me, I’m gonna take a few with me. Not sure about you but I could use something to take my mind off all of this so here is Louis Armstrong to remind us of better times. *What A Wonderful World begins to play.*

Mickey McCann, bringing you eyewitness news of this madness. I am looking out of our studio window on to the junction of Romero & Snyder and, people, you will not believe what I am seeing. A shambling crowd of men and women has just stopped a car, dragged the occupants out of the car and started eating them! I am not high, I am not mistaken. It is happening twenty feet below me. There are people eating people and the police are nowhere to be seen. Oh my god, someone has come out with a gun and started shooting the flesh-eaters. It is not working. They are just walking slowly towards the man. Oh my god, I can't watch, they are tearing him apart…

@Enalys

GM: you received a magical boon - what do you wish for?

Wyrmling, really into role playing his middle aged "parent" character: "the ability to awake well rested after a night's sleep!"

GM: nice, 50xp for staying in character, and not min-maxing. Granted!

Folks, Mickey McCann here and I can tell you things are pretty bad. We don't know what is happening as we cannot contact anyone at Police H.Q. or the State Marshals. The TV News was showing rioting and panic in Washington D.C. and New York but about five minutes ago most channels went off air. Whatever is happening it is big, it is nationwide and it is bad. I don't know what to tell all you people but here at KBFL we have barricaded the doors at the station and we plan to stay on the air. Not to be too pointed but Jim Morrison might be on to something, here's The End by The Doors.

PrecognitionOutbreak!

So basically after session one of our new #PF2e #TTRPG #campaign the sitch is... My lizardfolk fighter is down to 1HP. Our orc barbarian is down to 1HP and with exhausted and wounded conditions, and he's already used his once-a-day ability to pop back up to 1HP when he's reduced to 0HP. Our elven caster is out of spellslots and down to 7HP. All of our fighting allies are dead. We've barricaded ourselves in the inn, together with a bunch of scared commoners, while the inn is surrounded by an army of goblins, hobgoblins and undead, including an undead fucking troll. Does that about sum it all up?

It's one o'clock and Mickey McCann is still on air! What is happening? Let me tell you. Host of our lunchtime show, John 'Long' Silvers, hasn't made it to the station. The city is in gridlock and police say one or more violent offenders are on the loose. Everyone is advised to stay where they are, to lock the doors and stay tuned to KBFL. We are trying to get more information from the police but until then, back to the music with Creedence Clearwater Revival and Bad Moon Rising.

And you are back with Mickey McCann, the golden voice of radio, only on KBFL! As you heard on the news there is something serious happening in the downtown area, things are pretty confused and traffic is at a standstill throughout the city. A whole bunch of minor accidents around the metropolis area is adding to the problems. But don't lose your cool, it is not the end of world. Except it is, here is R.E.M. with It's the End of the World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine).
