How do I learn to become a good GM? I have played and tried to GM games since I was in elementary school, beginning with games like Shadowrun, Earthdawn, and Champions. Recently, I've gotten dack into gaming with a variety of other games (newer Shadowrun and Earthdawn, plus TOON! and Outbreak:Undead).  I've found examples of actual play and advice on how to actually GM a game in games to be lacking. I can only help but feel I am not alone as someone who isn't already a LITERAL dungeon MASTER.  I fully realize that there are an unlimited number of GM styles, personalities, etc. I do not think I am a very good GM though. No one else wants to be the GM, and few care enough to learn the complex rules that I often have to assist with and explain AS WE PLAY. Being left with the responsibility is quite overwhelming unless I create dynamic encounters or make it all up on the spot. I'm often left having no idea what to do.  Examples of Why I Think I Need Help  This question isn't about these examples so please don't dig into them in the answers - they're here to explain the basic things that leave me feeling like I don't know how to proceed as a GM.  I've read preparation is important, but last time I tried to make a story, the players immediately killed the primary character (a friendly person.) within about 2 minutes of starting the game. While I realize now that I let the dice take control over the story, it was rather difficult to continue a story that relied on this friendly character, with the players making enemies with the character's faction. It is still discouraging when my only other attempt at a prepared story ended with the players wanting to go in a complete opposite direction of where I planned. Both times, the hours of work I put into it were completely wasted, leaving me as ignorant as I always was before.  My group often wants to play Shadowrun, Earthdawn, or L5R- but I feel as though I am a horrible GM. The last time we played Shadowrun, I was bored out of my mind as we rolled hundreds of dice to do an obvious straight-forward "kick down the door" mission.   If I make security as I believe it should or as the forum threads describe their security or a few example missions I can scrounge up (examples of stories, not actual gameplay), my players literally feel completely hopeless as to how to achieve their mission without total failure.   One time when I was a teenager, I had players blow up at me saying "We have no idea what would work. You're telling us that our character's experience or the ally operative says that would get us killed, but what else can we do?" Since there are no examples of what players can do - I am left with the same feeling as the players. As an adult, I've had a similar occurrence where a player said to me, "I don't know what to do. I don't think we can even begin this mission." I had to make something up and just go with it, creating an NPC group (that fit in with the story) that goes in before the players to do something stupid so they don't have to. Mainly because I ALSO didn't know how to accomplish the mission, so I acted as the players would using my NPC group. Extremely boring and IMO a failed dungeon run.  I've had successful stories, but I've had more boring encounters than successful ones. Seeing as how roleplaying takes endless hours to complete a story, I do not see benefit in an activity that wastes more time than is enjoyable.  How Do You Learn To GM?  Where are the resources? Books, blogs, gameplay examples? Am I missing them? How did YOU learn to be a good GM? Or do you feel as bad at this as I do, even when it's a successful, fun encounter? Fly and Two Trains Riddle What happens when a creature enchanted with Soul Link would deal lethal damage to a player? Player A has 3 life left. Player B attacks with a  that has been enchanted by Player A's . Does player B win, or does nothing happen?  On the one hand, "whenever" makes it sound like the trigger (dealing damage) and the effect (healing damage) happen simultaneously.  On the other hand, combat damage doesn't go on the stack, while most other things do. So, possibly the combat damage is dealt, state-based actions are checked, and now it's too late for the Soul Link effect to heal player A.  If anyone knows which way is correct, my thanks! How to prove that: $\tan(3\pi/11) + 4\sin(2\pi/11) = \sqrt{11}$ Command to move a file to Trash via Terminal Are collective nouns always plural, or are certain ones singular? I'd say Microsoft have a way of bending the rules and I know that McLaren have won the championship. While this sounds strange, I believe it is correct English (sorry, I'm not native).   But when it's a small company, would you still use it this way? Is a company always plural, or are small companies singular? I.e., would you say Bakery Johnson makes fine bread or Bakery Johnson make fine bread? Is it My book seller, Woody's, have moved or is it has moved? Smoothing/generalizing polygon in QGIS? Is it possible to smooth or generalize a polygon in QGIS, perhaps by using a plugin like the generalizer-plugin for lines?  I could convert my polygons to lines, smooth them and convert them back to polygons but this is not working for my polygons because of several reasons. Is there a reason why the pin diagram of an RJ-45 looks like this?    I understand that the orange pair is used for Tx and the green pair for Rx. Why is it that the orange pair are kept together while the green pair are separated?  What are the consequences of messing around with this order as long as it is the same at both the ends? Is there a location where I can drop in a custom JavaScript file in Drupal 7.x?  It just includes simple event actions for menus, and I don't want to edit the theme/module files.  Or do I have to just add the "include" hook to the theme/module? Quick way to subtract white outline from knotwork pattern in Illustrator? I am working with a pretty complex traced AI that I received, and I want to basically make it so that all the visually black stuff is shapes, and all the white outlines (invisible here) are removed. Most of the spaces when a line crosses over another is created by a white outline.   I know about expanding appearance and the pathfinder tool, but because there are so many lines that are crisscrossing, I haven't had an easy way of minusing the fronts away. I could expand appearance and sort every object carefully, but I feel like there may be a quicker way of doing this.  If I put it in Photoshop as a smart object in 'screen' mode, it looks right.. I could put that back in Illy and trace it, but I don't want to complicate the paths. PuTTY inserts random characters during a session I recently started renting space on a remote server so that I could work on a project. I found that a relatively painless way to access it on a windows machine is through PuTTY. However, there is one thing that has always irked me when using it: for seemingly no reason random characters are sometimes inserted at the cursor.  Most of the time it is just a single tilde, but rarely it spits out what looks like some escape sequence ([[^8 or the like). It will only occur when I am focused on the window, whether I am typing or 20 feet away from the keyboard. If left for long enough, it will spit tildes at random intervals (average is about 1 minute).  Finally, this behavior seems to be inconsistant when running programs such as nano or the mysql interface: in nano, instead of inserting tildes, it will set marks (ctrl-^); in mysql, lines will become un-editable.  My question is this: Has anyone else experienced this sort of behavior in PuTTY? And if so, what can be done to prevent/correct this behavior? I have a simple circuit:    The max rating (current) of the LED is 30mA.  How can I work out what the resistance of the resistor needs to be? By using ohm's law I found it to be \$3V/0.03A = 100 \Omega\$. However using software called , and trial and error I got the minimum possible resistance to be 36&Omega;. However, if I use a 35&Omega; resistor, then the LED breaks. Is the software wrong, or (more likely) am I doing something wrong? Why did the first Linux developers choose to implement a non-preemptive kernel? Is it to save synchronization?  As far as I know, Linux was developed in the early '90s, when PCs had a single processor. What advantage does a non-preemptive kernel give in such PCs? Why, however, the advantage is reduced by multi-core processors? Alternative definitions of wifebeater I was a li'l nonplussed to find out that the word  can mean other things besides "a man who beats up his wife". Its definition reads:        One who (usually as a repeated practice) beats one’s wife, or a husband prone to violence   A kind of sleeveless shirt, often but not exclusively worn as an undershirt.   (uncountable, UK, slang) Stella Artois, a brand of lager beer.       reckons that sense 2 is American and originates "apparently from the association of such a garment with men who commit domestic violence". It does not register the UK slang. I'm guessing that Stellas also have an unfortunate association with domestic violence.  Are these alternative senses popular in their respective countries or are they perhaps nonce words that have lingered on? Any idea how these disparaging associations came about? I expect that the brewers of Stella Artois are none too happy about it. Can I load a .NET assembly at runtime and instantiate a type knowing only the name? Is it possible to instantiate an object at runtime if I only have the DLL name and the class name, without adding a reference to the assembly in the project? The class implements a interface, so once I instantiate the class, I will then cast it to the interface.  Assembly name:     library.dll    Type name:      Company.Project.Classname     EDIT: I dont have the absolute path of the DLL, so Assembly.LoadFile won't work. The DLL might be in the application root, system32, or even loaded in the GAC. Prove Equivalence Relation in G Hei, guys!  I'm having some trouble with the next problem:  Let $A$ and $B$ be subgroups of $G$. Show that $\sim$ is an equivalence relation when it is defined as follows: $g\sim g'\Leftrightarrow g' = agb$ for some $a$ from $A$, $b$ from $B$.  Should I prove this is valid for any a and b? It says for some elements a and b. But I might as well take the unit element.   Could you give me a clue on how to solve it?  Cheers! Why do Tcler suggest to brace your `expr`essions? Format not available in tag wiki excerpt For example, :   Format like bold or italic are not available , so it leaves ugly text there:  **This tag is *extremely* ambiguous. Consider using other tags instead.**    Does this need to get fixed, or it's not supported and the tag-wiki needs to be format-free? Massive 404 attack with non existent URLs. How to prevent this? The problem is a whole load of 404 errors, as reported by Google Webmaster Tools, with pages and queries that have never been there. One of them is viewtopic.php, and I've also noticed a scary number of attempts to check if the site is a WordPress site (wp_admin) and for the cPanel login. I block TRACE already, and the server is equipped with some defense against scanning/hacking. However, this doesn't seem to stop. The referrer is, according to Google Webmaster, totally.me.  I have looked for a solution to stop this, because it isn't certainly good for the poor real actual users, let alone the SEO concerns.  I am using the Perishable Press mini black list (), a standard referrer blocker (for porn, herbal, casino sites), and even some software to protect the site (XSS blocking, SQL injection, etc). The server is using other measures as well, so one would assume that the site is safe (hopefully), but it isn't ending.  Does anybody else have the same problem, or am I the only one seeing this? Is it what I think, i.e., some sort of attack? Is there a way to fix it, or better, prevent this useless resource waste?  EDIT I've never used the question to thank for the answers, and hope this can be done. Thank you all for your insightful replies, which helped me to find my way out of this. I have followed everyone's suggestions and implemented the following:   a honeypot a script that listens to suspect urls in the 404 page and sends me an email with user agent/ip, while returning a standard 404 header a script that rewards legitimate users, in the same 404 custom page,  in case they end up clicking on one of those urls. In less than 24 hours I have been able to isolate some suspect IPs, all listed in Spamhaus. All the IPs logged so far belong to spam VPS hosting companies.   Thank you all again, I would have accepted all answers if I could. Which standard objects don't support triggers?
