[QUOTE="Gilladian, post: 6711452, member: 2093"] If you have two fairly inexperienced players, I would have them each run a pc and a henchman who is a stripped down pc or maybe a champion 1 or 2 levels lower. Not two full pcs. You'll find that while you may have the overall campaign arc in your head, you don't want to spend a lot of time prepping more than one adventure at a time. Leave plenty of flex for changes in direction. With only two players it is fun to indulge their desire to follow character driven options. Like "who's my daddy?" Or "that pickpocket will not get away with this for long!" I usually spend 1-3 hours prepping for my 3 hour play sessions. Most of that is reading and revising the current adventure module, or outlining my idea for my own plot of the week, and maybe 15-20 minutes is spent thinking about how to tie current events to my desired meta-plot. And never be afraid to pitch it out the window if your pcs run the other way when you mention liches in the ruins... [/QUOTE]
