Episode 1193: All Yorr Base

<<FIRST     <PREVIOUS     NEXT>     LATEST>>

It's good for the GM to set the scene at the start of a new adventure. And rather than do it in descriptive mode ("A pilot and co-pilot fly a shuttle towards the Peace Moon."), you can do it in demonstrative mode, following the old axiom of writing: Show, don't tell.

It's also a lot more fun.
