    More tips:

    * Don't plan things too tightly, let the story flow from the actions of the players. Yes, this is generic advice for #TTRPG generally, but it's even more important in #PBP games.

    * Put some effort into battlemaps. PBP can be challenging from an immersion perspective, but good maps can make a big difference in how battles or even exploration work out. If on #Discord using #Avrae, learn to love otfbm.io -- even with its quirks. (2/2)
