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.”
