Instant GM: A Bag of Tricks
A toolkit for Game Masters running roleplaying sessions with little or no advance preparation. It provides three improvisational techniques—plot seeds, stock characters, and rakugo props—to help develop unexpected player choices into coherent scenes and stories. Players and the GM adapt to events as they unfold, with the players’ actions driving the plot while the GM responds immediately behind the screen.
