The Illusion of Knowing - MarkEzraStokes.com Imagine for a moment that you’re in a dark-but-candlelit room, across a modest table from a wizened woman. She squints at oversized cards spread across the navy-felted table, and she begins to speak: “Ah yes… I see a decision weighing on you…” You hang on to her every word. What if this same narrative trick was used at your TTRPG table?

The power of a vague symbol (a fractured crown, a shadowed doorway) is that players decide what it means.

And meaning = investment.

If you love narrative-driven tables, this post is for you:
