It has been said in certain circles that a DM should not railroad the players. And to do so would push the idea that the DM wants more of a story to be told rather than an experience to be had for the players, and if that's the case then they should just write a book.
I've tried writing, I honestly have. I end up constantly rereading everything, second guessing things, pausing for too long, then letting doubt creep in. The stories I want to tell are built in a way that I compare to a very detailed sandbox "Here are the toys I've made, please play with them in whatever way you please."
But after some time, the story should progress right? Would a nudge in the right direction or a cold switch in vibe be so horrible even if branded a railroad attempt?

Character Prompt Time!

"What do you assume about this person?"
"What's something probably nobody knows about them?"
"How would one of your characters interact with them?"
"What do you think is going through their mind when this picture was taken?"

I'm starting something new:
Every time I come across really cool character art, I might post it up here with a series of prompts.

"What do you assume about this person?"
"What's something probably nobody knows about them?"
"How would one of your characters interact with them?"
"What do you think is going through their mind when this picture was taken?"

Such a strange concept so many games have adopted: Levels.
You reach a higher number and suddenly get stronger, or better, or learn a new neat trick. But the implications for what that means from your characters standpoint intrigue me more than anything. You have done all of the amazing things you have done up to this point and it finally pays tangible dividends, and you can carry that forward remembering what you did specifically to earn that.

I don't think we think about the things we do above the table also help us do the very same thing.
