Improv and Gaming Conversation with Remi Treuer, Part 2

0:33 - Today's episode is the second half of my conversation
with Remi Treuer of the Durham 3 about improv and roleplaying.

1:27 - This show is a member of the Gaming Broadcast Network.

1:34 - Having talked about how improv and gaming are
different, Remi and I dig into improv techniques that can be use
effectively in roleplaying, starting with reincorporation and
listening.

9:33 - We dig into "Yes, And. . ." and the potential problems
surrounding it.

16:42 - I bring up the issue of sharing cool ideas
immediately rather than hoarding them.

22:57 - We talk about vastly different role that endowment
plays in improv and gaming, and Remi points out a clever twist on
how to use it effectively.

30:48 - Remi brings up "I'm going to make you awesome" as a
great tool in both improv and roleplaying before we sum up. I
then go off on the new improv format my troupe is trying out and
how it’s a lot like roleplaying.

37:29 - With my conversation with Remi concluded, I disclose
my plan for recording episode 100 at GenCon. Ryan Macklin of the
Master Plan podcast will be the Master of Ceremonies and
Roastmaster. Even if you can't be there, please send along emails
and audio clips to havegameswilltravel@gmail.com.

40:59 Speaking of GenCon, next episode will be the pre-GenCon
show.
