[QUOTE="AlViking, post: 9687526, member: 6906980"] I have done a lot of cumulative prep over time on my homebrew campaigns, so my prep as far as the world can be pretty minimal for a specific game. I also have things like random name lists for individuals, businesses and other organizations so I don't have to make them up on the fly. For a specific session I can't say I ever to zero prep, but it could be as short as a paragraph or two and a handful of encounter stat blocks (e.g. Goblin Boss, Goblin x2(med) x3(hard)) that indicate a monster and how many to get different difficulty levels. After that it's just improv based on what the players decide to do. I also have extra encounter stat block or two for most of my session plans because the players regularly go off on tangents I had not expected. But zero prep in D&D? I guess I could still do it but I'd have to take a couple of minutes to put together those encounter stat blocks if combat starts. I suppose I could just use my chart that shows average monster stats by level, but that would still not be zero prep. [/QUOTE]
