This is the preamble to a larger series of articles. There will be navigation links on the left-side which will let you jump to the various parts.

I would recommend reading them in order your first time, though its not really necessary to read all of them, or any of them, whether you want to host narrative events or not.

If you follow my formula, I can promise you’ll make something good.

If you break a few rules, there's a good chance you might make something better.

In order, I aim to provide:

• An Explanation of What Makes Narrative Events Worth Hosting
• A Guide to the Basic Logistics of Hosting Narrative Events
• An Explanation of How to Structure And Plan Events
• Practical Examples, My First Event, And Lessons Learned
• The Secret Sauce to Implementing My "Style" of Narrative Event
• Pitfalls, Failures, and Issues Ive Encountered. Solved and Unsolved

My only strong recommendation from the outset is that you not start with the "Secret Sauce" article. It may be confusing without what comes before it.

These are complex topics, and I do my best to boil them down and make them easier to understand, but you may find that some axioms or assumptions are stated but not elaborated on.

If you feel a thought is incomplete, or you would like to know more, feel free to reach out to me. If people do this often enough about a particular point, I will probably make an update.

I want to make this easy for you, but it will still probably be hard.

You should not let that, or anything you read in this series, stop you.

Whatever you make, whatever stories to tell, I wish I could be there to see it.

Lets get crackin'.
