I can run a good OSR or Classic scenario with max 30 minutes' prep, often less, as long as the material I'm using is clearly presented (ie not Paizo or most WotC stuff). A lot of this is dungeon exploration using simple keys as found in Classic and OSR adventures, which a computer could simulate, but a computer can't do in the in-depth NPC roleplay accompanying the exploration and combat, and my players seem happy. No way am I spending 10-20 hours in prep for a game - admittedly that is what the Paizo AP I'm also running seems to expect, but IMO that is a flaw with Paizo's design approach not with me. Even my 25th level 4e game only needs 2-3 hours' prep for a session, mostly stat-blocking.</blockquote>
