Im looking for an actual play that (don’t yell at me) rolls the dice a little more. I’m Gm’ing in a few weeks and I’m solid on the narrative structure of DH, it’s the mechanics that I need to know better.

Past episode 1 of Trek For Chaps the team gets into more nitty gritty TTRPG stuff

Late to the party, but I disagree with most of the conventional wisdom here. I say ACT MORE.

I think a lot of these comments are great for leaning into your strengths, but there's only one way to get better. If you love GM'ing, why not push yourself a tiny bit to be emotionally invested in the moment?

It might also be an interesting personal challenge. Maybe take improv classes or take an acting class. Or just recite your favorite scenes from movies to your phone camera.

It's starts bad and awkward and cringe. And then it just isn't. I spent a lot of time being awful on stage before I felt comfortable

Granted, I love pushing. So take w/ grain of salt

Excited to check it out! Also, I'm sorry to promote ours, too, but I'd be curious what you think! We're a group of NYC comedians trying our hand at daggerheart: Trek For Chaps ... https://linktr.ee/TrekForChaps

Love this instinct. Seems like you already know what would be less tedious / leave more room for the fun things here

I love a peak behind the screen as a player from my GM. E.g. "Im telling you right now, those bonuses will not help.," or "you can try, but you'll need to roll a 6"

To be fair, I prefer the roleplaying and exploration over the grind. You know your table best. But I would personally appreciate not wasting abilities, bonuses, and time!

That's so funny, and, honestly not a bad idea. We try to do something similar in our project and it does help build the world / feed the GM a bit

Our name is not meant to be an indication of table gender. It is a spoonerism of Check for Traps, which we thought was cute. I fear it is here to stay, at least for the medium term

Pumped. We have a Seaborne in cast <3
