===Make Everyone Look Awesome=== Get used to the word “interesting”—you see it again and again throughout this book. Fiction is about interesting things happening to interesting people in interesting places. Your job is to keep it coming. As protagonists, the PCs already live on the fringes of the probable. Exploit that so that cool things happen. Characters should have moments to shine. That not only means doing really cool things, but having challenges to overcome, because beating the odds is inherently cool. Don’t forget about yourself. Make places fun to explore and be. Secrets that are uncovered need to mean something, and have consequences. Give your antagonists chances to be, well, antagonizing. When your players are interested (there’s that word again) in the world, then you look awesome, too.
