What Would Wil Wheaton Do?
Wil Wheaton, actor, podcaster, novelist and nerd, has blogged about running a Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition game for his son and friends. In this post, he talks about leading the group up to the beginning of The Keep on the Shadowfell module.
In addition to talking about how the game itself went, Wil goes on to enumerate elements of good gamemastering, like “Whenever you can, say yes,” and “Everything is important to the PCs.” There’s good advice there, much of which has been heard before, but it’s timeless and widely applicable enough that it bears restating, particularly from such a prominent spokesman for geek culture.
