Are you a GM? Wanna talk about the campaign you’re running? Wanna brainstorm some new encounters? Are you feeling stumped or burnt out?
Are you thinking about GMing, but aren’t sure yet? Curious about what you need to get started? Looking for some encouragement or insight for your plans?
The GM Hangout is for you! This is a come-and-go event where you can chat with fellow GMs and soon-to-be GMs, get and give advice and encouragement, and get excited about all things TTRPG. We’ll be at Lenexa Public Market every other month on the 3rd Saturday from 1 pm-3 pm. RSVP on our website to let us know to expect you!
Uhh, what is a GM?
So glad you asked! GMs or Game Masters are typically the person in charge of (or at least facilitating) a tabletop roleplaying game (TTRPG) for a group. Often they are the ones most familiar with the game system, have prepared some sort of adventure or obstacle for the player characters to encounter during their play session, will act as characters and creatures the players may interact with, and arbitrate rules and play at the table. Depending on your system and players, sometimes a GM has to be a researcher, teacher, writer, designer, craftsperson/artist, actor, referee, therapist, and host. It can be a lot to try to keep up with! Despite all that, if you’ve played enough roleplaying game sessions that you feel like you have set expectations for what a session will be like, then you’re probably ready to start GMing! Come chat with us, we’d love to cheer you on as you start this part of your TTRPG life.
I can’t come, but this sounds cool. How can I still get some of this encouragement and feedback?
We have an incredible Discord community that is always active. They love talking about the TTRPGs they are playing or are soon to play, organizing new games, and helping troubleshoot issues.
