Wait for me as I'll turn these into a game in the Module version of the guide. And guide you through them.

I'm preparing my guide as a FGU module and you will be able to play this with free content from FGU website and pay what you want content from dmsguild. Without world limit, I can give you ways to create YOUR own content, better. But there are other topics I should write first to complete the guide.

EDITED: Do you remember the epic plot twist in 1995 crime thriller "The Usual Suspects" where a crippled con-artist called Verbal (Kevin Spacey) created the legend of a shadowy crime lord Kayser Söze in front of a US Customs Agent?

Another Example:

Step 2 - My objects: toothbrush, soap, tube of lipstick.
Step 3 - d8 Roll: 2. Sudden Reversal. (My PC's fortune: dead end -> hope).
Step 4 - Linking: My PC investigates the old man in the tavern and founds an empty tube of lipstick that is filled with solid soap in where he stayed last night. He must have forgotten it in his room. Grabbing the toothbrush that's left in a drawer and removing the soap, he reveals the note that will solve the case!

New Quest: Read the note and use it as a clue.

My Example:

Step 2 - My words: Greeting, provision, master.
Step 3 - d8 Roll: 7. Flashback
Step 4 - Linking: My PC has a flashback of visions where he remembers his master (patron) greets him and provides him the info that now seems suspicious. Ties to the context: My patron stinks and this old man could be his employee to misdirect me to my doom.

New Quest: I must find out why!

I polished this entry. Boy, do I write chaotically.

EDIT: I just downloaded it. In the free pdf there are rules / oracle, prompts and dungeon name gen BUT for npc / monster resources, you will need Shadow Dark RPG itself.

Added to comments: Of course the smallest things in this fantasy world had not to fit into the page: Halfling/Hobbit: Hobbit Drinking Songs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xVMqM7OzcI by Colm R. McGuinness.

Added: symbol dictionary and The Devil's Dictionary links.

EDIT: I just remembered where did I learn Starting Game Mastery part:

On the other hand, this is the most social interaction I've had in months, so maybe... just maybe I should raise the white flag and play some RPGs with them. It would be the sane choice in an insane world. Nah, just kidding! DA DUN DUN DA DUN!

NOTE: Can't add Rapture Video for Environmental Stroytelling section because of too long word count, so here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T88DViR2Al4
The "story" is what you see in the video, especially in the comparison of what the environment "was" before.
It's not in this video but if you played the game (Bioshock), there were even parts in the environment that tells the philosophical foundations of the the place.

Added: Me, Myself and Die's 2nd season was Ironsworn play. I added it to the list. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVxJ...UsTO_fTHnLTNaT

Changed: The video for drawing a map with brush is changed with 5 minute one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6hfSqe5mtw&t=354s

If you want inspiration for a fully fleshed out human NPC, here's the 4 seasons of mankind:

Spring came with awakening, came with innocence and joy
Spring came with fascination and desire to deploy
Summer came with restlessness and curiosity
Summer came with longing for the things we could not be

Autumn came with knowledge, came with ego came with pride
Autumn came with shamefulness for the things we could not hide
Winter came with anger and a bitter taste of fate
Winter came with fear for the things we could not escape

- Imago by Pain of Salvation.

hint: seasons = ages of the human.

UPDATE: Oh oh! I found out that "The Monsters Know What They're Doing" books was actually started as a blog and many things in the book are there: https://www.themonstersknow.com/why-these-tactics/

The link is the base reasons of the author's system to read stat-blocks of monsters. But in the 2nd book is an expanded, step by step explanation of this baseline adds way more to it than that.
