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!

My favorite trope is...

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.
