What do you do when your own head tells you the game is doomed? What if the evidence says otherwise, and you still can't hear it? And what happens if, just this once, you don't pull the plug?
Roleplay Rescue is back for Season 19, just ahead of the show’s 8th anniversary. After a week of (constructively) critical feedback, a player leaving, and a 2am voice telling me to hang up my hat, I take a hard look at the "Flaky GM" reflex that’s killed so many of my campaigns. With Carol Vivyan’s Unhelpful Thinking Habits sheet in hand and the Sentinel weighing the evidence, this time I’m not quitting.
Thanks to Jason Hobbs and the players in my Karameikos campaign for inspiring me to get back to the mic.
Oh, and it's PHQ-9, not PDQ-9... that's what you get when you don't script your episode.
Game on!
