What are your biggest GM regrets?
(ttrpg.network)
That things rarely go according to plan is part of running an RPG. The players will surprise you, and often this is entirely fine - in fact, it might result in a more memorable experience and a better game.
But sometimes, things go off the rail in a bad way - and you, as a GM, did not see it coming until it was too late, resulting in disaster and a non-fun experience for all concerned.
And contemplating some of my past mistakes, I am curious about your biggest GMing regrets. What went wrong, and what would you have done differently if you had the opportunity for a do-over?
@juergen_hubert Short Feng Shui 2 game where the player characters were all from the Mad Max future and end up in the modern day era. Had an encounter with some fake police.
I didn’t realize there’s been a shooting of a local officer recently, and one of my players was a local officer.
It went poorly in an otherwise memorable and fun game.
