[QUOTE="IanB, post: 3637823, member: 1473"] My one piece of key advice is, steal/use stat blocks from existing adventures/products as much as you possibly can. The single most time consuming aspect of running a high level game is NPC creation, and it gets worse and worse as the game gets higher in level. The more pre-existing stat blocks you have to draw from, the less time you have to burn on that and the more time you can spend on doing things like earning a paycheck and playing computer games. ;) Re-use everything you can, too. You'd be surprised what just changing the appearance/gender/main weapon of a villain can do as far as fooling players into thinking they're seeing something new. [/QUOTE]
