Hello everyone,

This week's article is about focusing GM prep. It's more of a “little of this, little of that” advice list than an outright regimen, as GM prep ought to be.

GMs: how much do you prepare versus how much gets used at the table? Do you have any tells for when you're chasing a thead “too far?”

Players: have you had to sit through fictional history lessons which seemed to drone on? Did you ever feel the game was already played through before you even named your character?

GM Muses: when can you tell that your GM might need to be set back on track? Or do you just let them go?
