When I was running Blades in the Dark, after the first session I did literally zero prep. I'd turn up to the session with absolutely no idea what would happen that night.Typically, I do a lot more than that, but often a significant proportion of it is pre-campaign prep -- worldbuilding and sometimes extensive system design/redesign. I might tinker away at something for years before I get it to the table. Ideally, this puts me in a position where I have a lot of stuff ready to fall back on if the unexpected happens in a session. Prior to any given session, I might do zero prep, I might be doing stuff that relates to background events, other parts of the world or other things that have nothing directly to do with what the players are currently engaged in or I might be prepping for the actual session.Generally speaking, when the PCs are already engaged in a specific task, I don't find I need to do much prep related to that specific, ongoing task, as once I've establish the initial details it's mostly a matter of following along and seeing what happens.</blockquote>
