[QUOTE="pukunui, post: 4760772, member: 54629"] Hi all, I'm planning on converting Star Wars Saga Edition into a fantasy game at some point over the next six months or so. Because I'll be more or less on my own once it's finished and also because I've got a young family, I'd like to streamline my prep time as much as possible and get better at improvising at the game table. What I'm hoping is that people will post their tips and tricks for "winging it" and for cutting down on prep time here using the popular "1001 ways to skin a cat" method. ;) Don't worry about game system. Whether you GM D&D, Star Wars, GURPS, or anything else, feel free to contribute. Let's see if we can get to 1001! I'll start us off with something I've done in the past: 1) If you use a computer during your gaming sessions, make up an Excel spreadsheet to keep track of monster hit points. Set it up so that you can just slot in the amount of damage they take each round and it'll automatically subtract it from the total. If you're playing 4e, you can also set up the spreadsheet so that their current hit points change color when they hit their bloodied value. [/QUOTE]
