RPGs are an oral tradition

How did you learn to play or GM?

I had to learn GMing by reading and doing after playing once with someone who learned the same way, and even then advice in magazines was a big help, perhaps especially the conflicting advice. Getting to play with other GMs absolutely helped. I’m still learning.

John Rogers on Twitter cites a thread about how complicated RPGs can be, and picks up on the popularity of Actual Play video and audio as showing a version of what really happens at the table.
