Hello Travelers & Tourists!

I'm trapped in an ice storm. My family is doing well (& I hope you're staying warm as well), but this weather made me think of one of my favorite gaming memories - a mini game run during another ice storm!

This video offers a quick discussion of what an "Ice Storm" game is, and a few quick tips on how to run them!

1) Keep It Simple

2) Open Narrative

3) Weak Characters, Simple Challenges, Low Stakes

This video obviously doesn't include my normal editing, so let me know what you think! Also, please join in the conversation & share your questions, tips, & stories about your own "Ice Storm" Games!

Thank you for being here!

Thank you for being part of the conversation!

Have a wonderful day!
