100% GMing
Treasure Tables is dedicated to game masters, offering GMing advice and ideas since 2005. I'm Martin Ralya, and I've been GMing since 1989 and writing for the RPG industry since 2004.
Treasure Tables is on hiatus as of December 13th, 2007 -- after two years of daily posts, I needed a break. If you're looking for GMing material, I have two recommendations: the hundreds of posts in TT's archives, and my new project, the multi-author GMing blog Gnome Stew. Happy GMing! -- Martin
Adventure Writing Resources
Sat. June 2, 2007
With Worldwide Adventure Writing Month kicking off yesterday, I figured now would be a good time for a roundup of the various adventure writing tips and tools that have been posted on TT over the years.

- Scenario Creation Basics
- Scenario-Writing Tips from Craft (Adventures)
- Squeeze Out Tasty Adventure Icing
- The Buffy Principles
- Tips for Creating Scenarios and Story Arcs
- Tips on Writing Adventures

From the forums:

- GM adventure preparation checklist
- Good luck + RPG Plot List
- Guidelines for a One-Shot
And the wiki:
- Adventure Seeds (note the wiki license)
Any tools you’d like to add to the list?

Can anyone recommend an auto-word-counting widget thingy for a blog? I seem to recall one being recommended… somewhere around here, maybe.
I’m independently hosting my blog, so nothing wordpress-dependent or whatever, please (although other TT patrons might find those useful, I suppose.)
Something like this?
Zokotou Word Meter
Exactly! Thanks.
One day, there will be a course in college called “Gming RPGs”!
and then, we can get a “Masters in gming”!
What does it have to do with the topic?
Well, there´s so much information in this site that we could base half the course on it!!!
I would call Robin Law to be the headmaster… or would it be Martin??? lol.
It´s so nice to have so many tips on the fly. Why not create something like a POKÉ-AGENDA. something you can ask: What do I f***ing do now? I´m stuck!
Then it would give you the right tip during the game! hauhau
