RPGs / "Real" D&D Alignments

I appreciate all the work put into this article and it should be a great way to help players overcome the confusing rigidity of D&D's alignment system.

Unfortunately, I suspect most players will simply resort to hedonism...

I know I would.

RPGs / Advice for running Dread?

« on: September 23, 2013, 01:17:58 PM »

For Halloween I am thinking of running a game of Dread.  I have a couple people that have not role-played before, so I thought Dread would be a fun choice to minimize the rules and allow them to have more fun role-playing.

The problem is that I have never run Dread before.  I haven't been a GM for years, but I used to run CoC regularly.  I have the quickstart rules for Dread and I was going to run the free introductory scenario, The Mask (slasher film story).

I am not intimidated by the game, but I want to ensure we have the most enjoyable time possible, especially for the newbies.  Does anyone have any best practices or techniques they have formed to run a great game of Dread?
