When improvization fails. What do you do when you 'got nuthin'?

<< < (5/5)

David Berg:
I'm a big fan of knowing why!  And yeah, I often use prep for that myself.  I think it's possible to prep the barest basics, like a single word for a motive, and then flesh them out naturally in play with improv. 

Giving the GM lists, tables or charts to roll on, or images to interpret, can be a prep time-saver.  I have a list of connections ("destroys", "shows the way to", "amplifies", etc.) I occasionally roll on to link my elements to each other.

Ross Cowman:
When your brain fails, use the player's brain. But don't let them know you are doing it.

David Berg:
You got any precise techniques for that, Ross?
