How many of you DM's out there have had to truely wing a whole game?
I mean, maybe the players went off in a direction you had nothing planned for, or you forgot about the game, didn't prepare and didn't want to cancel!
I usually write all my own campaigns and adventures, so I have had to totally 'wing it' before, especially when the players didn't do what I had planned and I didn't want to say "Hey Stupids! Go here!!"
I have a folder in my DM stuff that has quick , 'wing it' refernece material. A huge list of previously created names ("Rothker", "Mistle, Elf of the Seas..") to use on the spot. A list of personal picks for different settings from the random monster tables, and blank NPC summary sheets I can just write down a quick NPC stats thought up in my mind.
It's tough and a challenge, but some of the 'wing-it' experiences I've had have been great! How about you?
