 However, the rewards can be great! When you keeper a story well the players will be transported to a different, scary world, and the intrigue, alien horror and plots of their adversaries will envelop them in gaming goodness. But be warned, keepering is addictive, pretty soon you could find yourself scribbling notes and giggling as new and devious ways to torment your players spring to mind!

They are hoping these will be hours that are more entertaining than movies, TV, or a good book. Or even exercise! You owe it to them to try your best to give them a great time. In return you will have a great time as well!

−	=~~Tips for New Keepers~~=	+	Being a [[Keeper]] is a great fun, but quite different to being a game master in any other roleplaying game. Keeper's need to have their wits about them at all times and be ready to quickly improvise new story elements as the players head in unusual directions.
