I've already done a quick one-page outline of the adventure as a whole (good for several sessions),
The first post is so helpful, could you please post the overall outline too? Thanks for such a great idea!

1. Burning Forest
- Beat the crap out of the PCs. I want them to feel like they're in constant danger.
Here are the general adventure notes....
This is my favorite part. Write up them NPCs to be interesting, but don't waste time with a bunch of stats/numbers. What I couldn't do is just have a list of locations. I'd need at least one overland map, and one tactical map. And if the PCs say "hey let's travel to" wherever, woe to them if they pick a place I haven't mapped out yet. All they'll get is a handful of wilderness encounters until the session ends, so I can draw the map up for next session!NON-PLAYER CHARACTERS
