#RPGaDay2021 entry number 13. My last three entries before being all caught up, start here!
Day 13 - Improvise: I’m sure improvising is a concept with which most people who play RPGs are familiar. I’ll just use this post to encourage first-time game masters to not be afraid to improvise right from the beginning. The very first game I ever ran began with a friend of mine and me rolling up some characters for a homebrew Dragonball Z game. We liked the characters and he had just run our game session the night before. So he suggested that I give it a shot. I had no idea what I was doing or where I wanted to go with it. I came up with four event options, rolled a d4, landed on an alien ship crash as the event, and then things just spun out from there. Making it all up as we went. We brought in some other friends in later games and I ran the campaign for years. All from starting with a completely improved session.
