My dm does about 95% improv, and it’s been so cool to watch him develop that style. He started out obsessively planning for campaigns, and now he basically just picks a map and comes up with a handful of factions/npcs and then lets everything happen from there. Not something you could do easily with writing, but it’s taught me a lot about how to look for plotlines and threads that would be interesting to pull on, that might go unnoticed if there’s too much of a plan.

Good stuff. I've always wondered if I was the outlier here as I tend to outline after I've started writing.
