Prime people
Message player ahead of time and let them know your plans
notify people in game if you wanted to achieve something in particular that they can help you with.
Realistic Goals
Give yourself goals and very low bars for success as much of it will be outside of your control.
Decide what you’d be happy with; Do you want a particular trigger phrase to start a scene. Do you want a very curated experience, or a more organic one?
Reorganizing is an option
If a conversation or moment doesn’t go quite as well as you wanted, see if you can create a open document e.g. GoogleDocs with the players to “rework” that moment.
Be aware of narrative arcs
What feels natural for something to happen, if it works, go with it.
Forgive yourself if it doesn’t go to plan.
Be aware of your needs: Go eat, drink, and sleep. Taking care of yourself is big a clever.
