29: EVOLVE
How has my play evolved? If it has.
When I started GMing, I prepared extensively and tried to guess likely options. But I got into TOON very early, a game which actively encourages players to run off in all directions and GMs (“Animators”) to improvise madly, backed up by random tables for things like what pulls up when you try to call a taxi and advice on creating running gags. That was a big leap, and I still mostly GM that way.
Nowadays I mostly just prep for what I’m not good at improvising, like NPC names. A list in my notes prevents the players meeting too many NPCs called Bob.
