As a Storyteller, it’s your job to create challenges for players, give them opportunities to succeed. But when the character fails a check, flubs a roll, or takes an approach that (although successful) shouldn’t feel like a win, we are often at a loss to handle it without disappointment. This week, Sara and Rob talk about the hidden gem of consequences and the fine art of failing forward.

So how do you narrow down the list of what to use for YOUR new campaign?
