Sure, you have a ton of experience you know what works and what doens't and you know "the rules" by heart. That's fine, I do the same myself. That's not what I mean by "improvising everything". | |
| Apr 7, 2016 at 17:16 | comment | added | SevenSidedDie | Yeah… improvising everything is hard, and harder in a game system that is designed for preparation, but it's not impossible to fully improvise a game. It's my default way of GMing (and that explains my drift over the years to games that work well run that way). You may want to change “a myth” to “hard”, especially since the rest of that sentence does say it's possible. | |

| Apr 5, 2016 at 0:34 | comment | added | GMJoe | +1 for the opening line. This is a playstyle issue: Some groups encourage players declare setting details on the fly, others allow them to do it but only at certain times, still others completely discourage it as immersion-breaking, some allow players to make suggestions but give the GM the last word... There's advantages and disadvantages to every approach, so each GM and table need to pick something they're comfortable with. | |
