The thing about the teaching, how very true!

However, I don’t know that you should regret how you handled that other player. Ok, so maybe you weren’t teaching her how to play “an RPG” right, but you were certainly teaching her how to play CoC right.

Still, yeah, I totally see your point.

When I was reading PTA and for the first time in my gamer life trying to get a hang for things like player scene-framing and player narration, I immediately remembered a Call of Cthulhu one-shot a couple of years before where I had a first-time female gamer that did just that, effortlessly and instinctively.

And, of course, I stopped the game, told her how wrong it was while trying not to show comtempt, and then proceed to teach her how to play an RPG right. God, how I regretted doing it… years later, it was me, trying to figure out how to play like her. Hot damn!

Isabel, who’s been posting here as Elora, reinforces that the game is loads of fun!

Rui, yeah, although bear in mind, this is somewhat a new experience for me as well. So, I want to take in just a few more sessions and see where those two players go with this, enough that I can gather more data before I write that up.

More and more I’m growing jealous of your TSoY sessions!

Also, I’d love ro read your take on coping with groups like yours (“Of those five, two of them are really just coasting along, playing it as if it were a traditional RPG.”, vs the other players). Can you do that for a possible post?
