Basically if you want to do any narrative design in games, I can't suggest being a Dungeon Master enough. It's that + improv.

@ZoeQuinnzel DMed a group of theater people for a few years. Improv was a very necessary skill.

@aeazel @zoequinnzel I DMed a group that included a powergamer and theatre major who were best friends. That campaign escalated very quickly

@danrodgers @aeazel oh dear god the perfect storm

@ZoeQuinnzel @aeazel Best thing I learned there was to have a toolbox of openended story and system pieces. Hugely useful even outside RP.

@danrodgers @ZoeQuinnzel I also learned to have a DM screen, roll the dice, and make the facial expressions needed based on results I wanted

@aeazel @zoequinnzel This is the best goddamn advice you can give. Emoting is way easier than trying to have a poker face.
