This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Atmosphere in your game

Quote from: flyingmice;558844I try for a good nitrogen-oxygen mix. I find it much more conducive to good gaming than methane or ammonia.

Helium works, too. Great for character acting, especially when you run the Wizard of Oz. :D

Quote from: JonWakeGamers, as a whole, are much like primitive cavemen when confronted with a new game. Rather than \'oh, neat, what\'s this do?\', the reaction is to decide if it\'s a sex hole, then hit it with a rock.

Quote from: Old Geezer;724252At some point it seems like D&D is going to disappear up its own ass.

Quote from: Kyle Aaron;766997In the randomness of the dice lies the seed for the great oak of creativity and fun. The great virtue of the dice is that they come without boxed text.

With my amazing voice-actor talent I don't need no steenking helium! :D

I'd love to stop at the munchkin's tavern by the yellow brick road to see you try that amazing voice acting talent with that wench dress on. :D

Quote from: BedrockBrendan;558173This is the only way to run a tavern visit. Anything less and you are just doing things half-ass. Real GMs dress up like serving wenches and sloppy barkeeps.

...and in the game.

Maps and drawings, if they count- and the most important person these build atmosphere for is me the DM. As for the players, most of the group loves that shit, but i've got one guy that doesn't even seem to notice, but he doesn't seem to notice much at all really. He's the kind of player who asks what the room looks like right after you've told him what the room looks like.

Quote from: RPGPundit;558074I've never really bothered with that atmosphere bullshit.  Run the game well enough with your words, and you'll create all the "atmosphere" you need.

This. If I tried for more I'd probably tip over into cheesy, and nobody wants that. Well, they may or may not, but I don't want that.

Besides, it's an oral hobby (stop sniggering at the back there). I like it that way.
I roll to disbelieve.

Handouts (e.g. paper) and occasional music. Although, when running Ravenloft sessions, we played exclusively by candlelight in an otherwise darkened space. Made a lot of difference, according to the players.
Best,

Asking questions about the fictional game space and receiving feedback that directly guides the flow of play IS the game. - Exploderwizard
