Jedi Sorcerer
I recently embarked on my first attempt at writing a master in a master-apprentice storyline. Previously I had only written the apprentice role, so it's a new experience for me. I have some plans for how it will play out, but for the most part I'm kind of winging it.
I wanted to ask if anyone had any advice or suggestions for how to write training threads. You can also talk about your experiences, good and bad, with writing the master-apprentice relationship, what to aim for, what to avoid, etc.
For example, I've been using NPCs/old PCs that I don't really write anymore to supplement teaching skills that my master character doesn't know or isn't very good at. Sort of a "it takes a village to raise a child" kind of mindset. It also opens up the door to more story opportunities, because all these characters have their own backstories and sources of conflict.
