Welcome! This is a two-page, printable set of cards designed to help you become better at running tabletop RPGs.  Though designed to work with the StoriesRPG base rules, it works with any tabletop RPG, giving you tips for improving:

  • Trust & Collaboration: Help players build community and connection.
  • Speaking & Listening: Help players improve their improv and attention.
  • Writing & Storytelling: Help players think about plot and character.
  • Engagement: Keep players on the edge of their seats!

As a certified teacher, I use these strategies to help kids in my writing classes learn how to be descriptive, build confidence in their speaking and presentation abilities, get deeply engaged in building plot and character, and find the joy in creative collaboration!

Here's a quick link library for all the StoriesRPG resources to help ramp up the fun:

THE PODCAST
