Thank you to all the GMs who have emailed in their Ask the GMs questions.<\/p>\n
Campaign Mastery has built a large queue of questions to answer, so I have paused on the question submissions. I (and Johnn when he was part of the site) have privately answered everybody who had an urgent submission, and I’ll follow through with public, more thorough advice as I work my way through the backlog.<\/p>\n
