GM tip: a failed roll should set a price, not stop the scene. The rogue slips off the chapel wall? She still reaches the belfry, but the bell rope catches her hand and tolls. At a table of 2-3, a dead stop freezes everyone. Noise, time, or a lost item. anvilnink.com #ttrpg #gmtips

GM tip: end the night with a door left ajar. Resolve the plot fully, then give each player one 10-second beat they cannot explain. The scarecrow now faces the road. Your lamp still burns, empty of oil. Zero prep.

GM Tip: Players taking too long shopping? Add a Karen. Shoves up to the counter with, "ExCUSE me, but I have been in line for TEN MINUTES!!" Demands they get something from the back (and won't believe they don't work there).
The scene will still be long, but now it'll be interesting.

GM tip for small tables: never hand players the monster's weakness. Hand them three rumors. One true, one false, one half true. Two or three players will argue it out themselves, and you just ran an investigation with zero prep.

GM Tip: when giving a list of objects, such as items in a room or a loot drop, br sure to describe at least one as "totally normal"; a totally normal chair, a totally normal dagger, a totally normal bowl of noodles, etc.
