Has this ever been you? You're GMing a session of your favorite RPG. And you have a crazy idea to drop something totally unplanned (and maybe a little crazy) into the session. So you go for it.

You have now dropped a strange and mysterious seed for something awesome to come... but you have ZERO idea of what in the absolute flickin' heck it will be.

We call these creative checks... and eventually, you're players are going to try to cash them.

What is your advice for 'creative checks'? Or your experience? Has this ever burned you? Or turned out to be the coolest thing you've ever done?

In this video, we talk about how to write cool creative checks without having them 'bounce' (fail to pan out and not fall flat).
