Consolidate Your Prep Notes
- Consolidate the eight steps of prep by combining related elements like strong start into scenes and tying secrets to characters.
- Avoid redundant NPC entries across sections to keep notes concise and easy to reference at the table.
3d6 Rolls Fit Flat Math Systems
- When rolling 3d6 for ability scores in games like Dolmenwood or Shadowdark, stats stay flat and die rolls matter more.
- Explain to players that modifiers are small and the game difficulty matches these flatter stats.
Start Fresh on Campaign Reset
- When resetting a campaign to a new edition and level one, start fresh including magic items.
- Preserve player interest by encouraging new characters and fresh stories instead of recycling past gear or classes.
