[QUOTE="Erekose13, post: 1233635, member: 3387"] Thought I would ask another question given that lots of people seem to be running adventures. How much prep work do you do to get a campaign started? And how much work do you do while running it? For myself, I started my first game with a quickie module off of the WotC site just to sink my teeth in. I found that combat required quite a bit of effort to run because with each round taking between a day or two it was easy to forget all the buffs and such. I also play at home and at work, so I write random number scripts in excel to handle rolls and keep track of hp and init and stuff. With the second campaign I started in Arcana Unearthed I worked for quite a while setting up the npcs/factions and maps, but left the plot open as I would like the pcs to mix it up with the city and get involved in things. I think i need to plan a few more encounters for it though. The third one I am running off the cuff at the moment, taking inspiration from a novel I read. I think it is working well so far, though I have to say that Fanog is helping out a lot with his character. [/QUOTE]
