Game Master Roundtable

Whether you are an experienced dungeon master or a novice Keeper of Call of Cthulhu, this event is for GMs to swap ideas on how to handle troublesome players, or discuss their favourite styles of play. It is open to anyone who wants to run games or wants to share their knowledge. The session will include advice from fellow GMs but also a chance to express your own ideas on what makes a good style of gaming.

No matter the circumstances our heroes needed some sort of relief, they can see a light shimmering in one of the smaller buildings, and they can hear the sound of animals coming through the wind slightly drowned out by the flow of a flowing river beyond.
