About Salman Corbette/TOTAL IMPROV

🦎 He/Him 🦎 StartPlaying's resident roleplay expert, with over a decade of experience performing, directing, and teaching theatrical improvisation. Based out of Montréal, Québec. Aside from running RPGs, I also offer roleplaying workshops and coaching sessions. If you would like to commission a session for you and/or your players and/or other GMs, please DM me. Or keep an eye out for my free webinars! I'm also a published children's author. I run weekly volunteer games for neurodivergent youth. I can play the piano and ukulele. I beat the final boss in Elden Ring. My favourite apple is Mcintosh. If you enjoy a bit of humour and a focus on growing your character and the world around your character, we're going to be like two peas in a pod. Or two goblins in a cave. Or two owls on a branch. Or two bananas in one peel - which is quite rare, but can happen.

How Salman Corbette/TOTAL IMPROV runs games

I'm a GM who likes a good story told. That means helping players build characters that are emotionally invested, and integrating them into the story. Together, we can build a tale over year(s) about your epic adventure! I'm bit of a jack-of-all-trades. While I'm known for my storytelling and improv skills, I don't shy away from providing engaging and tactical combat, or enigmatic mysteries and puzzles. As long as I have a chance to do a goofy voice every so often!

Featured Prompts

My favorite trope is...

the two guards, where one only tells one truth and the other only lies, and then they have a cascading series of other traits that they can't understand themselves

When it comes to voices

I do all of them, even if I can't

Salman Corbette/TOTAL IMPROV's ideal table

One where I can sit back and listen to the players BS with each other for hours, but jump in at any time and find everybody fully engaged. More than anything, I like to see my players being friends.
