All of this assumes I am not running a game with specialized prep requirements.I tend to favor an iterative approach to setting and character creation. Usually what I will do is come up with an initial scenario to kick stuff off. Some inciting event and enough setting information to give that event context. Then we will do a Session Zero where players create characters with a stake in the inciting event. The purpose is generally to get an idea of who the PCs are, how they are connected to each other, and to start building a supporting cast for each character.From that point on most of prep tends to revolve on building out both the initial scenario and building circles of NPCs around the PCs. I will have more details about this process later this weekend. Time for me to get ready for work.</blockquote>
