I am often asked the question 'what is the one most important thing to keep in mind as a game master?' And all too often we say 'have fun!' While this is true and very important indeed, it is not always helpful. So, in today's video, I am talking about the 2 key principles or components of a great GM. Applying these 2 key principles into your preparations for your next roleplaying game and in your game master style is one of the first steps to ensure that your next TTRPG adventure is one that not only you will love but your players will enjoy playing in too!
