Advice and Questions about Running Tabletop RPGS

r/AskGameMasters

This subreddit is for Game Masters (GM's) of Tabletop Role Playing Games (RPG's) It's for advice and questions, newbies and wizened old grognards, and anyone (or anything) in between. We are visited by GM's of many different games. As a guideline we encourage Tabletop RPG related questions that are broad enough to be answered by GM's of any system. System specific (mechanical) questions are allowed also although you may receive better help on the main and/or GM'ing subreddit of said game.
