think about how you will uphold it. “ So, you’ve decided that you want to run a game or have an idea that is bursting out from your head to share. Inspiration
from the source material and its spinoffs can create a plethora of stories. As the GM, you view the story from multiple
lenses. You create the environment, the cities, the Non-Player Characters, and the broader narrative. It sounds daunting!
Fear not, this guide will set you up for success and walk you through the foundational elements of being a GM for
For aspiring Game Masters. this document will provide you a start on Paradigm’s RWBY TTRPG.
Running a game using the design methods I have used to run my Enrich The World
Campaigns. You are always Welcome to adjust the values or As GM, you paint the picture of the world and the people your players meet. Storytelling is a unique art, allowing
imagination to fill in the blanks while you focus on what should garner the attention of the players. Players will ask you
concepts here To better suit your game. questions about the world; it’s your job to answer those questions, or even return the favor and allow a shared building
experience as they come up with an answer.
Don’t fret about being a world-class writer of descriptions or details that you only read in textbooks. Set your attention on
what matters to you and your table. Every individual contributes to making each episode fun and interesting. The
responsibility does not solely rest upon your shoulders.
Become inspired by the source material. Re-create and reimagine your favorite scenes from RWBY, or leverage the
source material as a starting place with easily remembered locals such as Beacon Academy. You may want to be more
adventurous and branch out to stories untold such as the sands of Vacuo or the undercity of Mistral. Resolve bigger
picture events "off-screen". Events like this are too large for Player Characters to resolve directly, like "Who wins the
election in Vale"" or "Did the city south of Mistral successfully fend off the Grimm attack?"It is your job to resolve things
“off-screen” when the Player Characters are not around to act. This often includes deciding conflicts that are too large for
the Player Characters to resolve directly, like “Who wins the election in Vale” or “Did the city south of Mistral successfully
fend off the Grimm attack that the Player Characters heard mention of?”
Most importantly, you build the tension and decide when and where dangers arise. It is your responsibility to paint a
picture for your players to interact with that feels believable and meaningful to the world of Remnant. Challenges,
conflicts, and problems are the main sources of drama and character development opportunities. After all, the Player
Characters can’t be heroes unless they have a chance to be the best Huntsmen they can be and have a wild adventure!
You Are The Final Judge

Ultimately, you set the precedent as GM. Does it sound reasonable that a Player Character would have the knowledge to
attempt an action? Can a character’s acrobatics stretch as far as the player describes?
When a player interacts with the world and sets an event into motion, the other players have opportunities to describe
how their characters react. Decide how these interactions resolve and what impacts they make upon the current episode
and overarching story. Sometimes a player will inform you of their intentions or goals. Take these discussions and
consider if it fits within the scope of the current episode, themes, and larger events at play.
If a Player Character attempts to perform something uncertain, risky, dangerous, or outlandish, chances are the preced-
ent has not been set on what is within the realm of possibility in your world of Remnant.. Everyone at the table does not
possess the same concept of what is in the realm of possibility and not. It is up to you to set the precedent and in some
cases, there’s no doubt what will happen next.
For example, if a Player Character wants to blast a new chunk off the shattered moon with their weapon, that’s almost
certainly impossible. If they want to show off to a Non-Player Character and obtain their attention, then that certainly
deserves a chance at possibly succeeding by quickly utilizing a Difficulty Check.
What if a Player Character attempts to perform something that there are no rules for, or offers an alternate method to
leverage an existing skill or Asset they possess? Make sure you understand what a Player Character’s intention is first.
This is for you, the GM, to resolve and determine the outcome of. Always try to meet someone halfway. If you have any
hesitation, try to find a compromise in a solution and keep the game moving. A common solution may be to provide
advantage to the Action. Nothing is more of a detriment to a game than sitting around and having to thumb through
pages of a book and debate while the rogue Huntsmen is getting away! If you make a mistake, move forward and keep
the game moving! We are human. Not machines. Everyone is bound to make a mistake and everyone at the table should
have an open mind to be understanding when this occurs.

I encourage the use of safety tools to help steer the game in a direction where everyone is comfortable with playing.
Episode 0, a communal planning session, once again goes a long way in making sure everyone is on the same page
when it comes to what type of content is expected to be encountered. While we cannot predict everything that may
happen during an episode, there are plenty of safety tools available to assist in making the game a safe place to play in.
A Rough Campaign Blueprint
Below are a few common tools that you may leverage. Integrate your player’s backstories into the campaign. Leave enough room for your story to grow and leverage player-created
content such as NPCs for rivals, adversaries, allies, and more!
Lines and Veils
Lines and Veils, originally developed by Ron Edwards, assists the table in understanding what is eligible for exploration Establish large overarching events to shake up the world your players reside in. Use these moments to catapult them into
during games and what is not. This is a great subject to add into any Episode 0 that you commit to scheduling. impactful decisions for the world. You might not know how you will get to one of these large events, however, that’s what your
players will help you do. Their Player Character actions will assist in folding events and elements into the larger narrative.
Lines are scenes, elements, descriptions, and any other form of content that you do not cross while playing. It’s not
necessarily that the content does not occur in the world, but in the story that you specifically are telling, it will never be After completing an episode, make sure you have a clear direction on the focus of the Player Characters, and continue to build
given attention. your next episode on their actions and the subsequent results. Weave the decisions and drop hints and elements of the
overarching story into each episode. It will fuel the mystery and excitement!
Veils are subjects that can exist in your game but you never cover them in detail. They may be alluded to or suggested,
but never given detail or intense scrutiny. Continue to check in while a campaign progresses to make sure everyone has been able to participate in content that they find
enjoyable, whether it be roleplay, combat, story, etc.
Every group will be different on what will be acceptable content to approach and what will be off limits. Read more about
the Lines and Veils at tinyurl.com/lines-veils-rpg
X-Card
The X-Card, originally developed by John Stavropoulos, allows anyone at the table to edit out content that may be
uncomfortable as play progresses. Create a card by using an index card or sheet of paper. Draw an X on it and place it
somewhere accessible to the entire table. This is the table’s X-Card. If anyone is uncomfortable with content within the
game out-of-character, they can simply point, tap, gesture, or take the X-Card.
The moment the X-Card is invoked, everyone stops playing immediately. The player who invoked the X-Card is not
required to explain the reason why it was invoked, but must at least indicate what content they would like to change,
remove, or skip. As a GM, it is your responsibility to understand exactly what invoked the X-Card so that the game can
be adjusted accordingly. Place the X-Card back in an accessible location, resume at an appropriate location in the game,
and continue playing.

Establish Structure
Your games will not be clean or go according to plan. Nobody knows how Player Characters may act during an episode.
The responsibility is challenging because you are telling a story with multiple perspectives and narrators, each contrib-
uting their own direction to the game as it progresses.

about looking at the Assets provided in the Huntsmen’s Handbook as rewards. For the Players looking to go off and explore, you

Character that dealt them the most Damage in the previous Turn. Hostile Humans or Faunus would be able to identify who may
be the biggest threat to them. They would even have self preservation at the top of their mind and potentially attempt to flee
from a situation that is no longer in their favor to fight again another day. It is unlikely all Entities would perform the same Ability
as each other repeatedly. Half or less of the total Basic Entities participating in a Combat Encounter should utilize an Ability if
they possess one during their Turn.
DESIGNING Combat Encounters

When designing custom Entities and Encounters for your Players, consider the following:
● How many threats do you plan to throw at your Players? This should dictate the strength of their Abilities, Attributes, and
Special Rules.
● Evaluate the best stats your Players have, the most common Defense Checks, and Attacks they will perform. Custom Abilities
and Special Rules are recommended to match these Attributes or exceed them.
● Think about the environment. Does anything make the location of the Encounter unique? Play off of that strength and design a
special rule utilizing the environment to make the Encounter enjoyable and memorable. Sometimes it is enough just to be on an
excellent stage such as fighting on top of a Skyscraper at night or jumping from ship to ship atop the Atlas fleet!
● Threatening foes should carry multiple Special Rules that influence the way they fight, operate, or break the normal rules of
the game to throw Players off balance.
