27: SUSPENSE
How do I keep a reader in suspense? I’ll tell you tomorrow.
Suspense is actually pretty easy to achieve - ask for a perception roll and make a note - but when is it enjoyable?
Suspense depends on what the stakes are, and those vary from game to game. A collaborative storytelling game works differently than a horror game with a map behind the GM screen and a tenet to let the dice fall where they may. Runeslinger on suspense by genre.
And every player’s interest in and comfort with suspense will vary as well. Something to consider when pitching or signing up for a game.
