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 can play the piano, ukulele, and guitar. 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.

doing improv, reading books in the bath, and sleeping

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!

The ol' "This world is imperfect 😈" anime villain monologue

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 set the necessary pieces in place, and then we can play out what happens together. When everyone is present and inspiring each other, we will always tell new stories with a personal meaning.
