Pocket-Sized Play - Monsterhearts: Mercy Falls 02

Added 2017-04-29 11:11:40 +0000 UTC

Here is Episode 02 of Monsterhearts: Mercy Falls. Like I mentioned yesterday, you guys are going to get these once per day until the series is finished.

The timecodes are below, and you'll notice they are annotated. One of our goals with this series is to show good play technique, so I'm making notes when something particularly interesting of helpful takes place in the session.

Enjoy!

In this scene, I show a really good pacing technique, which is to cut away from a scene after a roll has taken place. If a scene has been going for a few minutes and you have other players waiting for their turn, a die roll is great excuse to jump away. In addition to letting you move the spotlight around, it also gives the session a slightly more cinematic feel.
