GM 101: How to Handle Too Many Jokes in Your RPG
Manage episode 284294876 series 2793519
Hey Storytellers,
Many of our games start with jokes as we ease into the game. That isn't an issue, but the issue is about 30 minutes in if you have one or more players still cracking jokes in a serious game.
Check out our newest book - Human NPC's: 84 Complete NPC's for 5th edition to use in your RPG in minutes: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08TCKRZTM/
Check out our first book - 19 RPG Adventures for Game Masters to Run in any TTRPG: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08NQ38H2K
There are several techniques to use to get your game back on track:
1) Ignore it a couple of times
2) Redirect the player back to the game
3) Remind them that we are doing a serious game (after the game to start with)
4) Set some ground rules to get the game back on track
