But I do think it’s important for new DMs to not reign this in too much and learn how to go with the flow…both for practice and to learn if they enjoy thst dm style better.Using DM tricks to save prep time is fine, as well as using them with a practiced eye of enhancing the game experience. Using them because you are fearful to try dm improvisation is a problem.</blockquote>
