Pegs on the GM screen, with names for PCs and numbers for NPCs, an 'Acted' side and a 'Not acted' side. Move peg from not acted to acted after their turn, and when round's over, move them all back to the Not acted side. Finishing a minion group for the Director to throw the peg in anger was fun!

This can be as simple as giving them a funny mannerism! I had a malicious fey disguised as a hummingbird and after he gave the party a threatening ultimatum, I kept flapping my arms so the otherwise serious deliberations had this wonderfully goofy tone.

I thought the Conflagration ability for the elementalist was peak Angel of Fire action, and you can pick that as a Green Elementalist. In fact I did! To great success! Hope I made Ailean proud

It was a joy to see the genuinely clever game design! I feel like this is one that could get a lot of mileage as a game samer. It's almost a shame they already reached the logical culmination of the concept, but that really shows how well thought out it was!

This is my favourite piece I've seen from the heroes book so far. Can't wait to see the finished book if there's another that can top it!

We all knew you were brilliant already, but we didn't know HOW brilliant!

Is this the law that the number of werewolves in a system will increase over time?

If anyone tells you need a marketing degree, they're wrong. Though, I don't know if you have a marketing degree, actually. If you do, it's working!

A great choice for a second game, it's got a lot going on so having a bit of a foundation will be for the best. I'm sure you'll get tonnes of joy and inspiration from this awesome game :)

RPGs that aren't what I'm playing. Recently read GM guidance in Daggerheart and it immediately unlocked so many ideas on how to fix issues I'd encountered when running d&d and pathfinder. For less philosophical answers: A good bluetooth speaker! Button fridge magnets for abstract minis! Post-its!

This is one I see from inexperienced designers constantly. Really great way of phrasing the issue!

Compels (Bargain with the players with metacurrency to prompt character behaviour) from Fate. I look back fondly on RollPlay Nebula Jazz for introducing me to it, such an amazing show! Especially juicy when it's player to player. For d&d you can give free actions, spell slots, inspiration, even exp!
