Checklist for Flexibility, Creativity, and Improvisation The best DMs embrace flexibility, creativity, and improvisation. Learn to relax, and focus on your strong start when it’s getting close to game time. Actively listen to players by making eye contact, not interrupting, and taking note of what they say. Build off the ideas players give you, and connect them to secrets and clues. Trust your preparation material to help you run a creative, flexible, and fun game. Continually sharpen your skills by watching other games, reading about the experience of other GMs, and talking to other GMs.
