I am sold on moving the games I GM to a more proactive style and I am lucky enough to have plenty of players that would like to play at my tables. My question is how do you get players on board with the proactive style? - Do you ask them to read the book? Just the first chapter? - Do you just discuss/pitch it at the table? - Do you suggest looking for players already on board or converting the players already in my orbit? Any thoughts or experiences are welcome.

Hello everyone! Excited to have found this community. I’m a new game master and loved the proactive campaign book when I read it a couple of years ago. So, when I found out a sequel was coming, I started googling and came to this site! Woohoo! I have a practical question that I’d love some collected wisdom on: how do you provide just enough information about your world to give players enough to build interesting and informed goals (as if they have been living in that world). Especially if you are using published settings like Midgard (Kobold Press) or Fearun/Forbidden Coast (D&D). Maybe this will be addressed in the upcoming book, or if this was explicitly handled in the first please let me know! Been a year or two since I last read it.

I picked up a crazy roleplaying supplement this summer and am working up ideas on using it for a new proactive campaign. Ultimate nerd supplment: there are journal references on the creature descriptions. Anyway, so far here is the pitch ... In a desperate attempt to stop an imenent appocolypse a powerful NPC conducts a ritual to send a group back in time to stop it. Something goes wrong and the characters end up forward in time in postapocolyptic dinosaur land where they can potentially discover what happened, correct/improve the ritual, and go home to stop it (or they can stay in dinoland). My sense is that because the failed ritual is fixed (out of PC control), this should be the campaign starting point. I would give them the background that there is an impending apocolypse and a plan to correct it, that something went wrong and they end up in a strange place with strange creatures. I would not tell them about forward or back in time? The PCs would then make characters and goals from that information. I might write some ideas on clues they might find, but should focus on the factions, npcs, and locations in dinoland, and be prepared for them not to head home. Am I thinking about setup for a proactive campaign about right?

Are there players/GMs who would be interested in playing PF2E?

How much would be willing to spend/currently spend per month for one or more hobbies?
