Commentary
Fear not, I haven't forgotten about Nanase. She's going to be part of this mess, too.
It will be the story's job to get this point across, but I'll make note of it now for any experienced Table Top Role Playing Game (TTRPG) players reading who are presently alarmed:
Yes, this is an absurd thing to agree to within five minutes of learning a new edition of a game you loosely ran years ago exists.
Comments
I have learned a game at the same session I sat down to play it, but never as a GM. So this should be hilarious, as intended.

2022-08-07 21:15:30 +0000 UTCHunt? Not really. This is just Rich's thinly disguised attempt to get a new GM, since their last one quit on them. He's secretly really excited they're getting one this easily. j/k

2022-08-07 00:28:47 +0000 UTCIt'd be hilarious if Nanase is like "nah, you're on your own on this one, GF" and she has to hunt for players: Rich, Larry, Grace, Dex, Some Guy....

If you have good stories, can act out the various characters, and have the knack of getting players to do "heroic adventure improv" correctly, the rules will only come up every once in a while.

2022-08-06 04:42:44 +0000 UTCNoone can run a game as well as they think they can unless they are very insecure about running games. Like myself and one of the DMs I play with.

2022-08-06 04:33:00 +0000 UTCIt's a convoluted sentence but she learned it *exists* five minutes ago.

2022-08-06 04:25:52 +0000 UTC"within five minutes of learning a new edition..." Did I miss something? Did Ellen already read the whole book? ^_^ Not that this point in any way makes it less absurd.

2022-08-06 04:16:54 +0000 UTCI am less dubious of Ellen running a campaign she isn't familiar with then I am of her running one with a self declared troublemaker she does not know

2022-08-06 03:59:03 +0000 UTCThey'll have to take turns as GMs. This could take many hours.

2022-08-06 03:47:39 +0000 UTCWow, having someone judging your game sessions would seriously put a crimp in my enjoyment.
