On The Shoulders Of Dwarves

We’ve all been there: It’s game night and you can’t be bothered with playing. Maybe you’re exhausted, maybe you’ve had a hard day, maybe you just can’t find the energy. There is always the option to cancel. That is totally valid option often but it still sucks. ### Getting some energy (2:30) Uri teaches “Improv for GMs” and “Improv for Roleplayers” workshops. Improv and GMing have a lot in common. Here are a few basic tips from the workshops: - Warming up to a session. Both physical and mental warm ups. It's amazing how much it help to clear your head when you’ve done some warm up.

Think about the fun you’re going to have and the experience you wish to create. - If you are feeling a genuine emotion - use it. If you are tired - play tired characters, run the next session when it’s night time in the game and all the NPCs are dead tired. This can be a catalyst that will give you energy. ###
