Game Master’s Workshop

Want to GM, but don’t know where to start?

This workshop is intended for people who love role-playing games (RPGs) and want to start running them. Game Masters (GMs) are those who run a role-playing game. For D&D, they’re Dungeon Masters, WoD has Storytellers, Call of Cthulhu has Lorekeepers, but we’ll keep the discussion mostly setting neutral, so as to help as many as possible.

This will be a great way to connect with other GMs, meet others learning the ropes for the first time, and get some support to help with running a game.

What will be Discussed?

  • How to introduce friends to RPGs
  • How to warm up for running a game
  • Worldbuilding
  • Session Preparation
  • Note-taking in session
  • And much more!

If you have specific questions you’d like us to talk about, please fill out this form and let us know!

    Ben Worth (ben.worth@me.com) grew up in Lexington in the 1970s and 1980s.  He fondly remembers Lexington’s first gaming store, Crafts Plus, where he bought his first edition AD&D books including the Deities & Demigods with the Lovecraft and Nehwon mythos.  He has played and game-mastered many campaigns over the years including Dungeons Dragons (primarily 1st, 3rd, and 5th editions), old school TSR games (Gamma World, Boot Hill, Top Secret), Traveller, and newer games like Cyberpunk Red and Champions.  He recently ran the Wizard of the Coast’s Descent into Avernus campaign, a Traveller, Mongoose 2nd edition game, and a D&D 5th Edition series for Just Games (the Khulassa Campaign).
