Crying is a Free Action is my corner of the internet for all things tabletop role-playing.
Here you’ll find thoughts on running games, building worlds, telling better stories at the table, and surviving the occasional rules argument. I write about Game Mastering, player habits, storytelling tricks, and the strange, wonderful chaos that happens when a handful of people sit down with dice and imagination.
Some posts are practical advice. Others are reflections from behind the GM screen after many years of rolling dice and making things up as I go.
Whether you’re a veteran GM, a curious player, or someone who just loves the idea of collaborative storytelling, you’re welcome at the table.
Grab your dice, check your character sheet, and remember:
Sometimes the only thing left to do… is cry.
