[QUOTE="guachi, post: 7749823, member: 6785802"] Snipped lots and left the summary. I just realized I can tell I loved my last campaign I DMed because I had piles of stuff. The DM from my favorite campaign way back in college had piles of stuff. I had so much stuff I had to upload it to a Google Drive to share with the PCs. Even using a published game world, which both I and the DM from my favorite campaign did, a DM should have piles of notes that accumulate throughout the campaign.

But my favorite use of music was one scene where the module (B10 Night's Dark Terrror. Best D&D module ever.) has goblins attacking a homestead.
