>Yeah uh you *dice roll* *flip flip flip* uh you see uh *dice roll* *dice roll* *scribble scribble* yeah you see uh Goblin!Do zero preppers really run games this way?
>>97848073The trick is to roll dice, then say whatever you want them to fight, the dice's result meaning nothing except the illusion of random encounters.
>>97848073No.
>>97848073Yeah, except instead of physically rolling dice I enter my mind palace and simulate complex algorithms, it might take hours but it's the most honest way to play the game
>>97848265This is the only right answer really.
>>97848265>he takes hours to enter *his own* mind palaceDo amerifats really? Or is it a zoomer deficiency?
>>97848325American mind palaces are much larger than Europoor ones
>>97848325>>97848331Half of that time is spent climbing mind stairs.
>>97848073 I do
>>97848331Then you should need less time to enter them
>>97848651>he doesn't go the center of his mind palace when he thinksngmi
>>97848073Sometimes I wonder if /tg/ was spammed by aliens, but then I realize spammers probably have an adverse interest in finding out anything about TTRPGs.
>>97848073>play with a gm who claims he's very good at improvising>half of the play time is spent listening to him going "Auhhhhhh... mmmhhhhaaaa..... you are uhhhhhuuu... you see aaahhh.... an, auhhhh, a cave...."
>>97848963Being good at improv and being good at exposition are two different things
>>97848344>he doesn't have a mind high-speed rail system
>>97848073No, I have AI make random tables and then I ask the AI to use them to make random encounters. It's great, and it even makes good dungeon rooms. Not good dungeons yet, but soon.
>>97848073At least pretend you are putting effort into this shit, mate
>>97849625This is /tg/ now. The mods are angry that we've rejected their puckee threads, so now it's just a stream of bitching about railroading and GM prepping.
>>97849948they never recovered from the humiliation of this site going down
>>97848963I'm convinced that improvising is a misnomer, and the people who are good at it are just able to recall a lot of stuff they've already considered.
>>97848073I talk like this and I play like this
>>97848204I just roll the dice a week ahead of time and prep around what I get. Same diff I guess but I think it keeps things from falling into a rut.
So this is going to be the spam topic de jour, is it?
>>97850868That's kind of what good improv really is. You think fast, and part of that is filtering out things that will never happen. You're not just sitting there doing nothing and reacting as it happens.
>>97851080A lot of people have tried to make it seem like they're making stuff on the spot, and that's just disingenuous.
>>97849989They have only themselves to blame>Buy site in 2015>Never, ever, not even once update security since thenIt's a wonder the whole place lasted this long without a major crash if they did zero fucking basic maintenance for almost a decade
>>97851096It is. You're often bouncing off of what is given in a prompt or off of other actors. Really good improv actors can make even a ridiculous thing seem genuine if they give it enough feeling. You recognize what's already true given the context and choosing the next step that is either the most logical, or most interesting turn that's based in the reality that's given.I don't really need prep time to make a forest encounter interesting, I just go by what I think would make a good story based on what the party is doing there. Not in a strictly story or railroady sense, but in a way that engages players and make them interested in playing and interacting in the world.
>>97851059Something about the railroad meltdown last week really got their almonds activated.
>>97851165It's funny how many shit DMs outted themselves in that thread.
>>97849989I thought the entire mod team was replaced because a bunch of info was leaked?
>>97851149This guy gets it
>>97848073Oh so you have never played a game in your life? Great to know.
>>97851149I assure you your improvisation is no where near as convincing or interesting as you think it is. You'll have half a dozen emotional hooks and easy plays you cycle through without even realizing it and anyone with half a brain will see through it in just as many sessions of actual gameplay.
>>97848073Some systems like Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay play like that regardless of prep time.
>>97848073>oh am g you guys went off the storypath I had prepped for a year for omg now my game is ruined I hate players so muchDo prep addicts really run their games like this?
>>97852278It's not preppers, it's railroaders. Railroading is gay, and they wont accept how gay it is until they ruin a game for themselves.
>>97848073your brain works too slow
>>97852134>I can't do this myself>Therefore, nobody can do this, everMust be sad being you, projecting your own self-inflicted inadequacies on other.
