Description

Welcome to How to Be a Better DM

Today we talk about improving improvisation when your players do something out of the blue.

Tip #1: The Rule of Intent - think about the intent of the player as you improvise and try to meet and fulfill that intent.

Tip #2: Yes AND - in your yes anding the AND should be capitalized because that’s the most important part.
