Keep players in character as much as you can. Engage them by running the game like an RPG, and in reporting back your own information in-character through NPCs, or through traditional storytelling. If all you feed your players is numbers, then expect nothing but numbers back!

==Adjudicator, not Gamesmaster==
 
 
An important distinction in this game is that it is centred around the players. You're there to provide rules structure and to make judgment calls, not to drive the story. The players should provide the drama themselves!
 
 
What players want from an ''Adjudicator'' is fairness, consistency and guidance. You don't have to be a storyteller if you don't want to, and you certainly don't need to "prep an adventure" or provide a setting.
 
 
==Enjoy yourself!==
 
 
Finally, and most importantly, '''have fun'''. If you're not having fun, then stop playing the game and put an end to the game session.
 
 
Being the '''Adjudicator''' is a joyful experience, but its not for everyone, just in the same way that a game like '''Kingdoms''' won't suit every player group.
 
 
If the fun is gone, don't play '''Kingdoms''' anymore!
