GMing Tips for Pen and Paper RPG's

There are a couple of ways you can GM a Pen and Paper RPG.

Prepared Adventures

A prepared adventure is one where everything has been worked out already. Usually down to the sequence of encounters the characters will experience, the events they will go through and how it will end.

It makes it a simple progression usually. No matter what the players do, they will pretty much always end up following your adventure's series of steps. And that works fine much of the time.

The great advantage of a prepared adventure is that everything is already set up for you. You have no mysteries and nothing that hasn't been worked out in advance. You're not going to wonder "what do I do now?"

But there are a couple of problems with the prepared adventure.

The main problem is that there is no real self determinism of the players. No matter what they do, the outcome will basically remain the same. The only choices they truly have are how to overcome what has been put up against them.

But if you've ever run a game before, you'll realise that players never do what you expect them to do. And that quite often leaves the adventure seeming a little off balance. The monsters are still waiting in a certain room, even though logically they would definitely have heard that the players were there, and probably either hidden or come looking for them!

That brings us to our second type of adventure:

Will Fire Fists Reach Tier 1 Status?

On Jan 25th we will have 3 new fire attribute decks to test against the meta. They are the Fire King monsters, Fire Fist archetype, and Haze Beast archetype. In this article I will be covering the Fire Fist or known in the OCG as Fire Star monsters. The deck itself is a whole new concept to the game. All the monsters in the fire star deck have effects where they can set spell and trap cards directly from the deck to the field. Something that has never been done yet in Yu-Gi-Oh. Now how is this deck gonna weigh against Wind-ups, Hieratics, Inzektors, Chaos Dragons and Dino Rabbit.

First Match-up is Dino Rabbit vs Fire Fist. This game was pretty frustrating. I went first in this round and I felt like the entire game was a constant struggle. Negating left and right, so annoying, Laggia beat the hell out of me so much while testing. Fire Fists are powerless against Dino Rabbit unless your opponent has a killer hand or you have a mean side deck. Dino Rabbit has the clear advantage.

Second match-up was Fire Fist vs Hieratics. I didn't spend too much time on this one because I felt that fire fists had a clear advantage. As long as you stop them from going off during the first turn you are guaranteed the win. These monsters rule the Damage Step, Hieratics set up for a big OTK and if they cant get over 1 of your monsters you pretty much have the game sown.

Now this match-up was hard to place a clear winner which was surprising because I thought Wind-ups would be clearly on top. Wind-ups won most of the games I played but at the same time I could help but shake the fact that Fire Fists were better. As soon as I sided mind crushes I dominated Wind-ups.

You might be wondering what I am rambling on about, I myself am a video games tester and have made a career from doing something I truly love doing and I am going to share with you how I got started and what it is all about.

What are video games testers? Someone who tests games in their 'beta' stage; basically before they are released for general use. But where are the agencies? Such agencies have worked hard to become trusted by the Games Manufacturers and their main role is to introduce potential Video Games Testers. It is important to point out here that Video Games Testers start off at the same level, but only with experience and feedback can the tester grow in stature, reliability and effectiveness to command a full time career.
