I will soon be GMing a game for friends, a few of whom are somewhat new to RPGs, and somewhat new friends.

I will soon be GMing a game for friends, a few of whom are somewhat new to RPGs, and somewhat new friends. I want to get some idea of things they might like to see in our game, so I put together this survey: http://goo.gl/forms/UjDhx8nKB2

Could you take a look at tell me what you think? Have you done this sort of pre-game player survey before?

(Not directly DW related, but you guys are awesome, thoughtful, and go about GMing in the way I’d like to go about GMing, it seems to me. The game will indeed be DW.)

  1. That’s a great way to get some input. I haven’t done something directly like that, though I have seen it done on the Forge.

    I have done a couple other types of things, like making a “ok to include, please exclude” palette (like from Microscope).

    I have also done a “how much do you like each of the following things” where the things are either “game type situations” or “themes/moods”. 

    E.g.: Rate these 1-5 as far as how much you like to see them 

    Exploration/Adventure

    Combat/Conflict

    Intrigue/Politicking

    Sneaking/Subverting

    Investigation

    etc.

  2. Oh, those are good ideas, too! I hadn’t thought of the rating idea. I haven’t looked at Microscope. Sounds like I should give it a read.

    Thanks, Todd Grotenhuis ! As always, you’re the best.
