Description:

GMs: Learn to craft enticing 1-shot scenario descriptions & attract more of the right players.

Veteran GM and professional writer Matt Steele combines over four decades of experience running convention games with years of pitching screenplays in Hollywood to write short effective scenario descriptions.

GMs: Have you ever had the convention game you prepped for hours not run because not enough people signed up? It might have been that folks weren”t enticed by your description – or couldn”t figure out what your game was about.

Have you ever run a convention game where the Players came to play one style of game, but you wanted to run something very different? It may have been because your description didn”t set the right expectations.

I’ll walk you through my five-part framework for crafting short scenario descriptions that gives Players enough information to choose your game and arrive ready to play through the type of story you want to run.

We’ll then put the framework to use by building out one or two scenario descriptions together.
