Re: Ravens N' Pennies - GURPS Content Posts
I am trying to do better at planning (but I am the Megatron of the Procrastitrons), but I generally improvise most game sessions from very little prep. What I am getting better at is planning and prep-work at the very beginning of the campaign (which is GURPS with it's toolkit approach to rules and options is super important).

Re: Ravens N' Pennies - GURPS Content Posts
My gaming group is amazing, hands-down. It's taken me years to get the right balance, but it's been worth it. My players are very involved in the campaign design process, both in the inception and its ongoing building. They are very driven in their zeal to make it believable and "real," as am I.

I do a lot of my planning up-front (overall setting, important NPCs, story arc(s), character creation guidelines, etc), but the between-session planning is so important for me because it folds in the developments and new ideas added by the players. Far from being rigid or inflexible, it allows me to weave the character's actions and goals into the fabric of the ongoing campaign. For me (and as always, everyone's MMV), it's the difference between my first set of ideas, and those same ideas as developed by the game as it plays out, incorporating the PCs' actions, the players' interpretations of in-game events, and any new/improved ideas I might have come up with since the initial planning phase. Of course, there are those who accuse me of over-thinking these things.... :)

Re: Ravens N' Pennies - GURPS Content Posts
In my case it just doesn't seem to be worth the expenditure of time and the effort to force myself to be productive (which is better used for work, school, the Pyramid article I'm supposed to be writing). The results are generally as good if I do the same work under the pressure of actually using it in the game right away.
