GMs, don't you just hate when your players trip you up by asking the name of an unplanned NPC and you have to make something up on the spot as if you had the answer all along? Well today I'm joined by Mike Ashmoore of Tales of Asperran to tell you to how to stop doing that.
Aside from setting the precedent of having the first Mike to make a guest appearance on the show, I'm very excited for this discussion because it touches on a topic that is near and dear to my heart of how to make your players do some of the heavy lifting you do at a GM or at least sharing in the burden.
Mike has some really great advice specifically on how to involve your players in the world building of your campaign. From Session 0 and beyond we've got tips for you to keep your players invested in the world around them by having them make decisions about who and what is in it.
Tales of Asperran is an actual play podcast to hear Mike and his crew implement the techniques we discuss in todays episode you can check them out here: https://www.toapodcast.com/ and follow them on Twitter @TalesofAsperran
