Abstract	The quality of a role-playing experience is often dependent on the players' engagement with their character and each other. This can be greatly improved by the Game Master through the use of compliance techniques, strategies for influencing an individual towards a specific goal. Using these techniques, Game Masters can motivate players to act more enthusiastically and engage more fully with the role-playing game, improving the individual and group experience.
