Do you contact your players? Do it now!

Here’s some ideas to ask new players:

  • Do you understand what to do? (this will allow you to help them if not, and avoid any bad first posts)
  • Is there anything about the game you’re finding difficult?
  • How did you find the game?

Here’s some ideas to ask players who’ve been around a while:

  • How do you think the last plot went?
  • Do you have any ideas for the next plot? (everyone likes their opinions feeling valued)
  • Is there anything specific to add to the main plot that will benefit a character’s sub-plot?
  • What was the best plot in the history of the game?

If you contact your players a lot, maybe you’ve got ideas of topics to suggest. Add them in the comments below.
