Give others a chance to shine

Don't hog the spotlight. Be aware of how much you talk, relative to the other players. If you've been talking a lot, suggest a spotlight change. If a quiet player is talking, don't interrupt unless its timely and valuable—and even then, raise your hand or wait for a natural pause.

Be proactive, too. Set others up for greatness! Has the Fox been flirting with one of your followers? Arrange for them to have a scene together, alone. Has the Blessed's player been quiet this session? Ask their PC to join yours on an errand, then strike up a conversation about something they care about.

This principle isn't about pursuing your agenda—it's about helping the other players to pursue theirs, to portray compelling characters and engage with the fictional world. But when you give each other a chance to shine, the results are often surprising, which means you're all playing to find out what happens.
