We try, we really do. Those of us who spend the majority of our time in the GM's chair, by and large, do our best to be creative, and really make sure that our players are getting a well thought-out adventure. Sometimes, we just need a cheap trick.

The skills that I've learned from improv have applied to every aspect of my life, and this definitely includes gaming. Wingin' It will be a series of articles that touch on improvisation skills and how those skills can help make gaming run more smoothly, for both players and gamemasters.
