[QUOTE="aco175, post: 5700864, member: 27385"] I used to worry more about not using things like in depth npc's and weather more, but find that I do not have the time to devote to these aspects. I spend as much time staying a few weeks ahead of what the encounters are path of the campaign. One thing not given enough time is magic items. Right now I just tell the party, "you find an item, level X". The group understands fine enough, but it is not the best use. I should have a list of things the pc's want and try to give placed treasure each level and a few misc. items for flavor. I would like to also develop some sore of rare item for each tier system that can be laid over existing items to make them better, or ideally a book of rare items all on their own with charts to help make your own. I do ok with each encounter to make them enjoyable. I should use more traps and terrain to set each apart from each other. I do not really spend much time on maps like I used to, so each tavern and dungeon is skimmed over for encounters which get more time developing. I recycle some small towns and villages from past games and freely steal maps and such where I find them. One thing that would be neat is a site where people could post encounters and other stuff like maps and npc's for other to use free, not sure on anything legal though. [/QUOTE]
