So I 'improvise' my story threads on my own (or with a | player or two in a casual setting). This gives me the confidence to fly | acrobatics during the session because I have practiced answers to the | critical questions (you know - where you have to say one thing but suggest | something else). Amen to that. I mean, no scenario ever survives contact with the party, anyway (at least, not if they're any fun!), so there's no shortage of improvisation even in an entirely plotted-out game. While my planning boils down (usually) to a single page of notes, they're at least _organized_ notes representing a good deal of thought and care. || S.
