Welcome to our newest forum member dre . Come on in and tell us about yourself. Thank you. Fan of old game systems and linking together the past. Maybe in 2 decades I’ll be a D&D historian but for now I’m here to learn and share

There are a lot of fun games out there. The improvisation, fly by the seat of your pants, when the players decide to do something unexpected is my favorite part of the game. There are several parts to it. One of course is creativity and if you are playing TTRPGs then you have that. A second part of it IMO is using a system that lends itself to that style of play, which is why I am a big OD&D fan, but it can be done with pretty much any system. The third part of it is buy in from the players, they need to be willing to take that journey with you. A fourth part is your background reading, the more the better. Ideally if you grew up with fairy tales, storytelling, mythology and fantasy, you have a big leg up on the whole thing; but even if you don't, then expand your reading in those areas, IMO it will help your improvisation. However, IMO the two biggest things to help your improvisation is practice and brainstorming. We have some brainstorming threads, here are two mini-hooks and Mini Hooks. These two threads are great brainstorming, because even if you look at some of the ideas and have no clue how you would use that in a game, reading it creates possibilities in your subconscious and doing your own ongoing mini-hook list every time you have an idea, no matter how off the wall, is a great way to develop your improvisation abilities.

It's cool to have new younger members joining up here. 3E pulled me back into active play after a long absence when I was in the Army. Nothing wrong with either of those systems. Fortunately, the improv does get easier over time.
