In this video, I talk about the importance of telegraphing danger in your tabletop rpg's. When I first got into OSR style rpgs, I was surprised to learn how easy it is for your character to die. It's very different from modern tabletop rpg's like 5e D&D. I learned that one of the best strategies to help keep your PC's alive is to "Telegraph Danger" which means to tell them the truth about the level of danger they are about to encounter.

This helped my players pause and decide on how best to approach the upcoming scenario, which isn't always combat. I know, big surprise. Then, knowing that the encounter might be too challenging, they can think of an alternative way to get the upperhand if things were to go sideways.

Also, telegraphing danger mostly relieves the DM of responsibility for character death since you did warn them ahead of time. I hope this video helps improve your DMing like how the subject matter did for me.
