Just scouring the Lady Blackbird extension – ‘Lord Scurlock’ and discovered this little gem, which I will add to by GM best practices index card to reference in play. I mean, I almost do it automatically now, but it doesn’t hurt to be reminded, scan about at all the cool information we have generated right there on the table in front of us and then explicitly do the thing:
“Part of the job of the GM is listening to what the players say, catching it, turning it around, and seeing if there’s anything else to be done with it… reincorporate, play NPCs with gusto, look for interesting obstacles, impose consequences as events warrant.”
John Harper Gold.
I’m working on the “Using Entanglements” and “NPC Actions” sections, and it’s all essentially that advice. 🙂
John Harper maybe the wrong forum, but is there an updated version of lady blackbird that reflects the changes/clarifications from the later chapters?
Marshall Brengle No, I’ll probably leave LB as is — at least for now. I have some future plans for the Wild Blue, though. 🙂
BUT ISN’T CAUL SUCH A GOOD NAME THOUGH? He’s my demonic coffee shop owner.
John Harper please tell me it’s a new chapter or a Blades hack 😀
John Harper be still, my heart. :swoon:
Adam Sexton Caul the Barista was born with a paper-thin membrane from the tip of his nose to the back of his head. Don’t stare.
Matt Horam Oh pleeeease, that’s ridiculous…………….
…..He has employees for that 😉 <3
There are other chapters to lady blackbird written by John? Where is chapter 2? I don’t even see a link to chapter 3 on the website that appears to be hosting it? What sorcery is this?!?
Edit: I found them, thanks Google. But before today I didn’t even know they existed! This is a good day.
Yeah… I really need to update the LB website. :/
I just joined the patreon, so now I have everything. And I see there is a 4th Chapter as yet unreleased? Man, so many goodies today.
