23: SURPRISE
Who likes surprises?
As I noted on Day 8: Obscure, some players like surprises in their games and some don’t. The Watch House didn’t feature a lot of shocking twists, just a few here and there, and some of those came out of the events of the session.
The kind of surprise matters too. How will the players take it?
And players can surprise GMs as well, not just with their reactions to the regularly scheduled plot but with ideas well beyond that. The famous TWH example was the unexpected creation of Captain Rugged, where Matthew’s player dropped an entire Funny Magic Episode plot on top of a session.
