One Light at a Time

[cyrano]

My gamers make me happy.
They take the half-kneaded dough that I inevitably bring to the table and form it into a neatly braided loaf of challah with only a minimum of mocking. It's hard, from the tradition of a story teller, to let go of control and trust the players, but I try because I know they have the best interests of the story at heart. And they trust me in return.
At the beginning of the session, I think "I'm nowhere near ready to actually use this as a story." And at the end of the session, I nod contentedly and think "They got me through another one."

You bring the rocking your own self, m'boy. I randomly decide to add a guest star without any warning? He becomes an integral part of the plot, driving future character revelation! That shit ain't easy to do right, but you do.
