In this week's video, we are talking about the things that make us afraid to be the Game Master in our roleplaying games. I recently asked the community to tell me what they feared the most about being the GM & the response was overwhelming! Many of us fear the same things and so I've grouped them into the different camps of fear that we will dive into. Today, we talk about the fear of your friends. Whether you're afraid that you might disappoint your friends, embarrass yourself or railroad them into something that they don't want to do - you're not alone. It is a complex topic and a very common one that comes up, and the aim is to help you see that you can embrace and perhaps even overcome your fear and go on to become a Great Game Master!
