[QUOTE="MNblockhead, post: 9340216, member: 6796661"] When I ran a campaign my homebrew world, so much of that "preparation" was never used in play. But the creating of my own world was a hobby in and of itself that I enjoyed. As for prepping campaigns based off of published material, I find that I over prep. My problem is less about prepping things that will never get used because I start in broad strokes and and prep for the next session or two based on what the characters did in the last session and I also ask them what they are planning to do next. I tend to be more on the sandboxy side and I've gotten better at improvising. but I just don't enjoy running all-improve, no-prep games. What I do find is that I still under-estimate how long prepped material will take to play through. It is one thing to have enjoy planned to ensure you don't run out during your session, but I find that what I prep is generally enough for three sessions. That is often a good thing in that if I have a busy week and don't have time to do any prep work, it was already done weeks ago. [/QUOTE]
