You must read aloud verbatim the rules. Preferably in a snarky tone, right after you push up your glasses and say “WeLl AhckTUalLy”

Use real world locations and immerse yourself. You’ll have better details to tell to players. Even someone’s back yard or neighborhood can inspire a location, dialogue, or NPCs.

Also, playing mental mini games with friends. 5 minutes of improv tops keeps you sharp!

Always give players the ✨opportunity✨ to play high risk/high reward. (E.g. If you roll nat1 on attack rolls, you lose the action economy and something detrimental happens. Nat20 will attack more than 1 opponent, depending on the attack)

Also, give out inspiration more often.

I have several one shots at the ready based on real events. Titanic sinking, Bin Laden Raid, etc. Sometimes the best fiction is based on facts!
