Wow, I didn't think anyone would actually be in here. To be honest, I should clean, this place needs a good cleaning.

Especially since Ao and I are considering moving. Not very seriously, but it's lease renewal time, so it's the time to think about before we lock in here for another year. We could get a 2 bedroom apartment for $50 less than our current one bedroom by moving out of Albany.
 

I was up at 8am!! It felt good to sleep in.

Moving is never fun, but more room at less price is a good thing. I think when my lease is up I'm actually going to be staying here for another year. I've moved at least once a year for the past 6 years, it'll be nice to not have to do that.
 

Yeah, we just moved two years ago, and I hate the idea of doing it again. But we could certainly use more space, and the savings on rent. I like the location we're in now, only about 5 minutes from both large malls and our favorite restaurant.

It's really going to depend on Ao's work status I think.

So anyway, how does one prep a game. I don't have the first idea how, really. Or even a plot idea to be honest.
 

For a one shot, I usually find a fun module that I like but would never get a chance to run it normally. For you I'd suggest figureing out what you like genre wise and go from there.

Once the idea is found, then the details need to filled in. Names of NPCs, plot devvices, its kind of like writing a story at this point.

In prepping for todays game, I reread my adfventure, got some ideas for neat encounters and some fun things for the PCs to do that doesn't really have to do with the adventure, and just help get myself in the mind frame of running.
 

Too bad I'm a plot disaster area. Even when I was taking creative writing, the hardest part was figuring out what story I wanted to write. Creamic DM was cool cause it gave me the pictures to start from. I just kind of flounder without a starting place.
 

then steal a plot....look through modules, or novels, TV shows, whatever till you find something you like. Fram an adventure around Guliver's Travels or Harry Potter. Just change things a bit so it isn't totally obvious.
 

Why does that make me think of the Knights of the Dinner Table when Bob was running? Sara's character got magical red shoes and there was a little dog....
