I love this series. I’ve suspected for a long time that improv acting and DMing are closely related, so this is just what I was looking for. I’ve actually considered taking improv acting classes to be a better DM and player.

For those looking for Part 2: http://www.dungeonmastering.com/blogroll/improv-part-2 I had to skip to Part 3 to finding a working link for Part 2.

but going off the map is the fun part of your games.

anyway I can remember DM’ing a group in college that was being attacked by a blue dragon as they crawled their way across a mountain pass.

As the dragon swooped in to breath lightning death from above, one of the characters cast a ‘Suggestion Spell’ and suggested that the dragon didn’t know how to fly. I thought hey why not roll the saving throw and wouldn’t you know it, I rolled a ’1′ and the dragon crashed to his doom in the ravine far below, momentarily forgetting that it could fly.

That one earned them some points

Thanks, Katie! Much like a genie, you should be careful what you ask your DM for…
