I just ran the third game of my Shadowrun campaign and while it's going very well and everyone is still having fun, it was the first time I tried to just run it free-form through some subplots, and I think the game suffered as a result - due to my own lack of preparation (even though I did spend several hours preparing notes beforehand.)
I am curious about what other GMs do to prepare for their Shadowrun games. I know the basic checklist items are pretty much no-brainers, but I'm interested in the approaches used by experienced GMs both when they have little time to prepare, or a lot of time to prepare. What's your personal approach/checklist? What things like stats, maps, NPCs and notes do you create and write up ahead of time and what things do you wait and create on the fly or look up in the books as they happen? How do you organize things? |
