I wrote about some more things I try and do as a player in RPGs to make the games good. Specifically: - have goals - listen to what your other players are telling you they want - reincorporate everything - everyone at the table plays several and/or shares minor characters

EUphoria's signature navy blue background with yellow d4 stars and sparkles. EUphoria Con's logo in the top centre, a round yellow frame with navy blue background, and a large shooting star made up of yellow d4s streaking from right to left, a light blue tail trailing behind, a light blue broken circle orbiting the star, and two yellow d8s floating on that orbit.
Header text, in a white blocky font with pale blue outline, reads 'Anxiety at the table'. Below, four rectangular framges with golden yellow outlines hold headshots of Markus, Gloria, Wren, and Chloe.
Subheader, same font as the header, reads 'Why you are not terrible and your friends are not liars!'
A final subheading gives the broadcast dates and time - Saturday May 2nd, 12.30pm BST / 1.30pm CEST, with final text at the very bottom of the page reads 'www.twitch.tv/EUphoriaAP'. To the right of this text, text reads 'supported by' next to a Moonshine Adventure Company logo, a sandy yellow moon draped in a purple banner bearing the words 'The Moonshine Adventure Co.' and surrounded by small stars.

Been noticing that the player-facing questions that I'm most intrigued by in storygames really hit the right level of presupposition; they not only help you tell *a* story, they also show you the specific type of story the system wants to help you tell. (But with enough blanks to make it your own)

If I had one tip to share after doing a LOT of long form GMless narrative play last year it would be this: When you wrap up a scene or a bunch of brainstorming, have someone (probably the note-taker) quickly review what the final decision or outcome was and make sure everyone's on the same page.

In 2026 I hope to make a positive difference for how people perceive & talk about fat characters in TTRPGs - Include “no body shaming/fat phobia” in lines and veils. Bring it up in your session zero - Ask artists to give your character a double chin or belly. if it’s not right give clear feedback
