[QUOTE="zakael19, post: 9467703, member: 7044099"] You know what's fun? Prepping with the players. Then you get to work together to figure out what NPCs actually matter and why, how they fit into the play space, what their key characteristics are, and have something actionable to pressure. So often as a player I've seen GMs either bemoan later "I prepped all this stuff and you never did it" or "ooop, haven't gotten around to jotting stuff down for there, lets end the session here ok?" The most remarkable sessions I've sat in on or played through were ones where the GM was doing 0 prep at all - just flowing "story now" fashion by providing obstacles and narrative moments. (thanks [USER=6696971]@Manbearcat[/USER] ). So for me, the less prep the DM feels the need to do the better; because that means they're likely relying on system mechanics to logically generate next steps with minimal friction. [/QUOTE]
