[QUOTE="kigmatzomat, post: 9467629, member: 9254"] No one knows whats going to happen when the players are present. Did the players stop the fights? Maybe they kill Tybalt themselves. Or Paris. Or Romeo. Are the players here because one of them [I]is[/I] Paris and had no idea anyone was planning on marrying him off? Is there a player who likes the idea of marrying into a wealthy family? I use as much CR as I feel in the moment until I exhaust the budget. Kind of like how A5e uses resources. Is Tybalt a fighter? Rogue? Bard? Warlock of Bast? Depends on what I think at the moment. He can't be more than 7th level Though. Not really. Cr sets proficiency bonus. So if I spent CR 5+ I get PB +3, less gets pb +2. Take the generic guard or whatever statblocks in MM and boost as needed. This fits on one page. Haven't seen many 1 page modules. Now, by the end it will be a couple of pages as I track NPCs and make game notes on what happened. Whatever else I need I can do on the fly. If I can't wing a rational floorplan for a manor house, I should give away my GM screen. This assumes I don't have access to a library of premade maps and floorplans. I mean there's a thread on enworld with like 700 maps, some are entire cities. [/QUOTE]
