Tell us about the games you've run, and how many have run to story completion versus how many have ended in disinterest, poor scheduling, or complete chaos.

Character death likelihood over the course of 30 years. Were you too soft in the beginning? Did you get maximum lethality for a year or two?

I've run games in dozens of systems and settings, and about half of them ended with a proper ending. The other half did peter out, or people had to leave, or real life interfered. It gets worse as you get older, unfortunately.

Well sure, son, here are some wrinkles for you.

If anything I was too harsh in my teenage years. One character only lasted about 15 minutes before getting smeared across the bottom of the canyon he had thought he could zip line across like Batman or something (this was a medieval fantasy setting).
But I mellowed with age and now I'm a bit more lenient, though still no softy.
Since there's less time as you get older, you also don't want to spend hours re-rolling characters all the time. And experienced players tend to be a bit wiser in their actions.

What systems do you prefer, and how many players do you run on average?
Blake Richardson
Favorite system?
Favorite setting?
Favorite moment(s) in campaign(s)?

Got any advice for a new GM?
