A focus for my current project, His Majesty the Worm, is interpersonal conflict and a focus on downtime. When the players camp, the GM can
provide some discussion prompts and ask for a small roleplaying scene to be
played out. Here are fifty topics of discussion to get some inter-guild
roleplay during “family dinner.”

ReplyDeleteSeriously, though, great list!
Sure, he lists it on there, but he super hates it when you describe it in slow, intimate detail, never breaking eye contact with him and switching from past tense to present halfway through.
DeleteAs you can tell from Chris's comments, my friends are sorta a ...hypersexual bunch.
ReplyDeleteOne of the game's influences is the webcomic I Roved Out, and I figured that some sexual content should be there. I figure GMs can salt to taste smut content at their table. Have a session 0, get people's buy ins, use veils and curtains, etc. etc.
