3: ENGAGE

Engaging with players in and out of character. What do the players want on their characters’ behalf, and what do they want to happen to their characters? PCs might well want a quiet life. Players generally don’t want to play that. (Although I have met some who run the other way at the first sign of plot!)

Checking in out of character can be very helpful when you’re unsure.

Alternative pun reading: Star Trek Adventures does a lot of things I like, such as the straightforward ship combat and engaging in character Values, though I would like one or two fewer steps in building and reading the dice pools.

Second alternative pun reading (hello K): RPGs have few weddings and lots of funerals. Now I want to do a wedding adventure, with nobody trying to invade it or anything like that...
