Campaign prep is something every dungeon master a needs to do … even if “prep” is something you throw together five minutes for the session starts.

On this episode, we talk about our individual game prep strategies, from structured approaches like Chris’s multi-phase plan to Ken’s adrenaline-fueled last-minute inspiration. Josh and Erin share insights into managing unpredictable player behavior and ensuring character growth.

To end the episode, we offer advice on how to childproof your evil lair.

Quotes

  • “I process, I think, I make notes. Honestly, that second section is my favorite part.” – Chris
  • “The first group I ever DM’d for were probably some of the most creative people that I’ve ever known, and that was a bad thing because they went off on a whole bunch of different tangents that I did not see coming at all.” – Josh
  • “The first thing I want to do is figure out how I’m going to make characters change.” – Erin
  • “I have to have deadlines or else it won’t work. My best ideas come the night before or the day of the game.” – Ken
