When the Game Drifts

from Tabletop Treehouse · host Chris Sneeze

When the Game Drifts Setting expectations matters in TTRPGs, but even the best laid plans can drift. Players get confused, tones shift, and sometimes people get upset. Today in the Treehouse, we’re talking about how to set expectations, how to check in when they change, and what to do when the game starts becoming something different. Redbubble Patreon
