Question #6: Have a Plan...
Doing a comic improv style really worked in this context. It made sure that the emphasis was always on keeping the comic funny. Comic didn't get published until it had a punchline, and I never had to bow to the needs of some specific script I had in hand. Keep writing until it works. At the same time, dang, things could really wander. When you're just making things up on the fly you really aren't beholden to anything, good or ill. That's not a writing style that will work for all occasions, that's for sure.
When evil spreads across the land, and darkness rises and the monsters roam. When the creatures of the night make beautiful music, and the things that go bump in the night go bump with greater enthusiasm. When the world is in peril and is in need of a hero...
These guys are, sadly, the best the world can hope for. These are the adventures of the heroes of CVRPG. They mean well, they try hard, and occasionally they do the impossible...
They actually do something heroic.
