Episode 191 – Improv as a GM

An Important Note: This is the second-to-last episode of Saving the Game. Our last episode will release in two weeks and will be a “goodbye” episode. More details in the episode itself and a full-breakdown in the next one.

This is the second part of the Prep/Improv two-parter we brainstormed during a Patreon question. We start out with the news above and a breakdown of how Christmas went, and then get to our Patreon question for this week, which comes to us from Richard Lorenz who asks: “Which Bible verse/passage/teaching have you seen misused or mangled the most?”

As you might expect, we have a bit of a field day with that one, but also move on relatively quickly because we have an interesting topic: GM improv! We stress a lot that improv is a learned skill rather than an inborn talent and discuss some various ways to develop that skill. We also devote some time (as you’d expect) to specific techniques and maintaining the proper mindset.

Mentioned in this episode: International Dialects of English Archive, Solo Improv Practice, From Rewatch With Love, Melina Pendulum, HBomberGuy, The Artisan Geek

Scripture: Exodus 4:10-12, Proverbs 3:6, James 1:5
