Yes And... Why Improvisation Isn't About You | Talking Improv and Comedy with TJ from Comedy Sports
How do you improvise things that make the game better? How do you add comedy to the game without making it corny?
Welcome back to How to Be a Better DM. Today I talked with TJ Salmon from Comedy Sports, located in Provo Utah. For more information check out https://www.comedysportzutah.com/
The biggest lesson of today's show is that improv, and comedy, both of them, it's not about you. The best Dungeon Masters do everything they can for their players. They build the story on what their characters add. The best way to be a DM is to DM for your players.
Thanks for listening today.
