[QUOTE="CubicsRube, post: 8574914, member: 6848185"] I've stolen ideas from RPGs i like over the years. What i do now is i have a main bad group plus one or 2 other main players which have goals over the entire campaign. This is mostly stolen from Dungeon world that i ran a campaign in for 2 years. If i'm using prewritten adventures i like plot point style campaigns a la shadow of the demon lord or savage worlds. It's easy to read and gives me the key information i need to modify as needed. Then i run a starting session and learn a out the PCs. Between sessions as part of my prep i think about what the players have done and which groups it affects. Do they get a reputation? Have they hindered or helped any of the main groups? If so i may advance a clock (stolen from blades in the dark) or potentially even reduce one. I'll then think of an event that might foreshadow this. I usually try to start abstract in an adventure and get more direct and obvious near the end. Lastly, i see if there's anything from the players actions that session or their background i want to bring into the next session. The important thing is i only prep one session in advance. This means i'm less likely to waste time if the PCs go in a different direction. A nice effect is that it also feels organic, because if something happens they can usually relate it to something they did or didn't do in the last session. [/QUOTE]
