I do the area to be explored before having the team of characters begin adventuring in it. If i am pressed I'll not complete al the parts of an extensive work before play begins, but i did all of the separate scenarios, over 50, in the Hall of Many Panes, before the players bEgan adventuring in it.
Sometimes I spend a few minutes for session preparation, and at other times it is an extended time period of days or weeks--usually because it is something I plan to publish.
Cheers,

rear end of a horse, dog-log, this is getting as bad as the King Arthur portion of the Q&A
Oh well, at least we can say that S4 and its companion WG4 where adventures (in fact between the two a veritable mini-campaing setting) of note, and agree on that!
And, between the two, a lot of things where introduced. But of course this was true of the Ds, and S3 Expedition to the Barrier Peeks...

I will, at some point, have to play Falstaff in one of my games. I can't think of a more challenging or purely delightful role to play. He wouldn't last very long around a paladin, though...
By the way, have you ever seen Orson Welle's 'Chimes at Midnight?' It pieces together every scene in which Falstaff appeared. That is, both Henrys and the Merry Wives of Winsdor. If you haven't seen it, check it out; it's quite a ride...

At least we moved from the horse's rear to what the dog left behind, and from there if we watch our step we should come out cleanTerraDave said:rear end of a horse, dog-log, this is getting as bad as the King Arthur portion of the Q&A

As a matter of fact I have not seen Orson's Chimes at Midnight. As a great fan of his directing and acting, I will certainly make a point of tracking down that work.jokamachi said:

BTW, I just received an email from someone regarding the Revenge of Sith, and he said it was so dull he fell asleep in the death scene. His particular characterization of the film was "smoking turd"...
