There were times when we burst out laughing, yes. And also times when we
threatened him with a blunt katana and nunchakus that happened to be in
the room :)

Very well possible, of course, but there is a lot less than can go wrong
if the GM has almost everything spelled out for them. Of course, I'm also
a believer in not making it more difficult for a first-time GM than it
already is (mainly stemming from the first time I GMed something myself
where the players kept trying to do things I had no idea how to handle
them, and a lot of which, looking back, turn out to be against the rules
anyway).
