Not necessary, but I think it helps. Also if a player is hard of hearing I will try to get that person to not be the one seated at the opposite end of the table from the DM. But like students in a college classroom, everyone tends to sit in a preferred place and especially after a couple sessions will form an attachment to the place where they sit. Turning the room around can shake that up. <br /><br />All that is really just aiding "convenient and comfortable" though.

What a great ability you have of describing our shared imaginative hobby, of explaining the healthy, necessary experience of shared story telling rpg's bring. I use your thoughtful posts to inform my intent when I get the chance to sit around the gaming table.

Is that KK opposite you at the table; and<br />2. Does KK always sit opposite you at the table; and<br />3. To get a perfect moment in a game, it would seem you imply that we might have to play (at least) a few sessions and arrange things both in game and out game as players to allow such a moment to arrive. If we seek to approach the perfect, are such things as player placement around the table vital and important or beneath our notice?<br /><br />(I am possibly jumping the gun of the 'few days, good idea' post, and also may be obsessing over details in advance of GMing for the first time for a while.)Neil Willcoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07166832958072749813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638993969706011706.post-67710443888730877592013-11-07T16:30:39.073-08:002013-11-07T16:30:39.073-08:00"In a few days, if it still seems like a good..."In a few days, if it still seems like a good idea, I'll write about what you have to do with games to make sure these moments can happen."<br /><br />Seems like a good idea to me Zak. As someone who has come back to role playing after a few years, and is the dungeon master for a group of relative newbs, I would very much like to read what you have to say about the 'how' of this matter.
