Here I am. Once again.
I'm torn into pieces about Making more corny references and outdated memes to advertise my GFM, but here we go again. I need help getting out of this perpetual

Any donation will be greatly appreciated! I'll keep up with milestones and progress along the way. Thank you!
First Milestone $0/850 by February 27th

on my mind
RPG rules are bad, this much we know. Whenever you're using the rules that's not roleplaying, that's what I like to call ruleplaying. Or rollplaying if you're nasty. The most important part of roleplaying games is that the rules are bad and the enemy. And that knowing that you have to ignore the rules is the most important part of being a GM. We have to keep buying the rule books though so we can not read them. Just so we know which rules to ignore. There can be no such a thing as a good rule because rules means that you're not roleplaying. Asking for game rules to be good instead of bad and to be ignored is like asking me to roleplay while I am rolling the dice (rollplaying). My favorite game is D&D 5e, a game famous for not having rules.
Ideally whatever you play should have a lot or most of its page count dedicated to rules for something you don't want to do so that you can ignore them harder
The person who tagged this as "Brennan Lee Mulligan:" has seen the light of the truth.
Ok ive seen y'all complain about Brennan for a while now and now I have to ask what did the guy do??? I just know him from being incredibly funny on dropout shows, I know he has a DND podcast but just,,, playing dnd can't possibly make him this much of an antagonist here so what did he do???
I mean he's not an antagonist or anything but he's just a very silly celebrity DM with a vested financial incentive in running D&D (D&D is, for better and for worse, the game that brings in the biggest audience for these podcasts) but the way he bends himself over backwards to justify using D&D for stories which not only don't benefit from D&D but where D&D is actually completely contradictory to his stated goals combined with his platform isn't really great. He's not exactly unique in this but he's one of many celebrity DMs who basically utilizes his reach to teach people "D&D can do anything because as a game it actually isn't about anything" when he should know better.
So he's basically the sort of guy being made fun of here.
Brennan is a perfect amalgamation of the Whose Line is it Anyway effect (a group of professional comedians and actors doing really common improv games and making them look fun and easy) and the Reality TV Paradox (a guy with a massive media budget and writing rooms full of people both writing a script and ensuring that any unforeseen random elements can be edited and recontextualized into the predetermined script) that is everything wrong with Big Actual Plays, on top of actively shilling for the worst toy making company to have ever existed. I absolutely believe Brennan is a swell person and probably fun to talk to. I do not think his shows are anything but a sham and a commercial for the worlds most overmarketed rpg.

I’m getting ready to run a Cyberpunk RED campaign soon, and for the first time I’m using the revolutionary technique of “keep it to 3-5 sessions so that we actually finish it.” It seems obvious in retrospect, but until actually seeing that advice posted online I had genuinely never considered just doing short campaigns. It was only ever one shots or sprawling 100+ hour campaigns (which always fizzled out, natch). I know I’m not the only one too; aside from stories I’ve read online, I’m in a D&D5e campaign run by a friend of mine who’s never DMed before (!) and he’s drawn out a huge map and expects this to be a long, drawn out campaign. Where do you think this impulse comes from? I feel like Big Actual Plays are an obvious culprit, but I also think the fact that most of the official adventure modules WotC puts out for 5e are the large-scale 100+ hour campaigns leads people to think that they should be doing that right from the jump. If your only exposure to ttrpgs is 5e and you only looked at the official stuff, that’s the conclusion you would come to, right?
I think this impulse comes from a bunch of things, and like most problems perpetuated by Big Actual Plays, they existed before Big Actual Plays, but Big Actual Plays have more recently becomes some of their most extreme perpetrators.
I think the WotC campaign modules perpetuate this too obviously, but Big Actual Plays and that playstyle are like major parts of their marketing, so it goes hand-in-hand.
If I had to put a particular root to this it would be the idea of GM Auteurism, the idea that a (good) GM is not just a facilitator of the game and the player on the other side of the screen, but an entertainer and responsible for crafting a totally bespoke experience.
And when GMs want to be this or feel like they have to, I think they will almost always default to a big epic story, because entertainers are storytellers, and they don’t want their story to just be “some treasure hunters went into a handful of 20-room dungeons and got rich or died.” They think there has to be a quest, there has to be foreshadowing, there has to be character arcs, there has to be twenty unique fantasy cultures across the gigantic continent the party will granularly travel across (often that the game rules themselves have to be heavily modified to represent), there has to be a BEG with a speech and an epic showdown - and they think of themselves as responsible for making sure all these happen. In a trad TTRPG campaign just played straight without a prepped plot, some or all of these things might occur organically or might not, but in a culture that expects GMs to be entertainers primarily, the GM is terrified of the idea that they will not occur. That would be a failure of them as a GM. So there has to be 20 unique fantasy cultures and enough dungeons and whatever to provide space for them and all the character arcs and twists and plot points they have meticulously planned.
Im sleep deprived and rambling but hopefully this makes sense.
The reasons these kind of things fail 99% of the time is because the kind of TTRPGs these campaigns are typically attempted in just do not lend themselves well to prepped plots without a ton of very unfun railroading, take a long time to play, and because running this sort of thing as an entertainer is the equivalent amount of work as a full-time job for the GM. Big Actual Play GMs can create the illusion of this working because they are incentivized to put on a show for an audience because that's literally what they are doing, and because it is their full-time job.
anyone else living paralyzed by fear that you'll say one wrong thing and get excluded from the very small places you managed to carve for yourself because you don't have the mental strength to reach out to others anymore
or am i just insane
