I tend to throw a lot of spaghetti at the wall and just take what sticks. I like the free, comedic form of my games - but boy I wish I had the energy to plan out entire towns, etc - rather than just planning the main characters and encounters.I have been playing in a Lost Mine of Phandelver game and ran a bit of Horde of the Dragon Queen.
