Game Master's Tips and Tricks

Everybody knows running a game can be hell. Here’s something you can do to make it a little less of a headache.

Communicate! Talk to your group. Listen when they talk. This can solve a lot of problems before they break a group, and it usually improves the whole experience.
This is doubly true for a slow-paced play-by-post game, where a combat round can take a month or more to resolve. Talk to your players, make sure they know they can come to you with concerns.
