GMs: What is your prep to play ratio?

[Benjamin Olson]

I think it averages an even split for me when running online, because I usually have battlemaps, tokens, and character art prepped for everything. For in person games I usuaully do a fraction as much of that sort of stuff, so typically I'm spending maybe half as much time on prep.

It's hard to account for everything because often I prep things that don't get used for 2 to 4 sessions.

Just a guess, but I probably prep for 1 hour for every 2 hours of play. But it's not consistent. I might go for weeks with minimal prep. But that's because I spent hours and hours prepping the campaign before the first session.
