Many of us, have read GM-sections in RPG, RPG blogs, forum discussions, and sometimes books about the storytelling art.

All of these contains tons of interesting tips/techniques (and some will contradict each other, you don't GM a gritty mega-dungeon and high-school drama game the same way), so I am curious which ones are your favourite and how do you use them in your game

Wow, you guys are actually giving really good and useful advice.

I was about to comment “When one of my players asks whether they can do something completely unreasonable I look at them, roll a D20 openly on the table and without checking the result, say ‘no’”

But now I just feel bad :D

Oh, GM Fiat... I always preferred the GM Camaro, but you do you... ;-)

It is much faster than a GM fiat.
