DMG's most useful advice: "Yes, and..."

[hectorse]

You take them off their tangent and work the adventure into that tangent!

GENIOUS!

Never thought about it, which embarrasses me a la little bit but hey I am no actor so I didn't know about it.

That Chris Perkins actually uses it to great effect on the Penny-Arcade/PVP session only proves that this guys preach from what they practice!

So yeah...Any veteran DM's got any useful tips from the new DMG?

And for the sake of the thread I will post the mandatory: "I have been doing it for years!"

"Yes, and..." is basic a Improv technique for keeping a scene going.

Yes, and .... I've been trying to use well it for years.
