  • 9 GM Tips for More Interesting Combat

    Originally posted on dmleviathan: There are few things in the life of a brand new GM that can rattle the nerves as much as Combat. Why? Well, perhaps, because it is one of the few times in the game that they must apply so many rules at one time. Additionally, since most RPGs are, lets…
