Total Improv - Improvised One-Shots
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | One-Shot
About the adventure
🎲Randomized Characters🎲 👱♂️Newbie & Oldie Friendly👴 🎥Cameras Optional🎥 🌵Very Non-serious🌵 --What is Total Improv?-- Total Improv is exactly as the name suggests: all quests, characters, dungeons etc. will be improvised or randomly generated over the course of the session. Many things will be generated to specifications by the Dungeon Master’s Guide, and it will be my job, as the DM, to justify them on the spot. Characters will be randomly generated. This will be a very silly game. The silliest possible, even. Min/maxers and rules lawyers beware: this game will be 90% roleplaying and 10% succeeding through sheer wit. Basically, it’ll be a good time. --How long is the session?-- It’ll be about 1.5 - 2.5 hours. There will also be a 10 minute intermission. --How should I prepare?-- Don’t ------- "Salman's Total Improv one-shot is some of the most fun I've had roleplaying. [...] Salman did an incredible job keeping the adventure moving by laying down the train tracks as the train was in motion, and managed to wrap everything up into a satisfying conclusion by the end. I'll be looking out for other chances to play Total Improv again." - DM Carson | Fabled Folklore Gaming "Fun to do a little bit of improv! Challenging and super silly, but silly in a good way. 😁If you like a silly game with wacky roleplay and story, this is your DM!" - DM Jarpo | Chris Sizemore
Game style
Rule of Cool (RoC)
“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.
Roleplay Heavy
“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.
By joining this game, you affirm: - You're a cool person and won't engage in any ableism, racism, transphobia. misogyny, etc. - You're looking to hone your improvisational skills at a very silly table - You're in this to tell a story together, not to win or be the best

How will character creation work
Characters will be pregenerated randomly, and distributed on a drafting system live. There is nothing else to say here but there's a character minimum so this extra sentence is here just to take up your eye space.
