Make a Roleplay Cheat Sheet
Added 2019-10-05 16:23:26 +0000 UTCA roleplay cheat sheet can be a single sheet of paper covered in a bunch of quick references for roleplay, in a similar way to how a DM Screen is a bunch of quick references for game mechanics. It contains a number of tables you can glance at to quickly put together NPCs, locations, towns, motivations, and plots.
This can help during game time when you need to quickly create a character or place from scratch that you weren't able to prep beforehand. When a player suddenly asks about a random patron in the tavern, or when they decide to give up on their current quest and go in a totally new direction, you can use the roleplay cheat sheet to easily craft the adventure on the fly without needing to pause or even cancel the session because you weren't ready.
