From the introduction: This is a compilation of tools that help you learn how to support your friends in roleplaying. Before we even get to the tools, I’ve got some thoughts about support. I would appreciate it if you could bear with me and read them; if you’re in a rush, skip to the goods. The first set of thoughts are: why does support matter? Why we care about it? The second set of thoughts are: what is important in doing support? What do you need to know to support your friends effectively? The third set of thoughts are: what happens when tools fail you? How can you build new tools or move past them? After that is a glossary of terminology I will use throughout the document and then the list of tools themselves; some written by myself and some written by others.
