Editing Template:Session Prep/Documentation (section)

== Best Practices ==

* '''Embrace Narrative''': Like MERP adventures, weave narrative elements into your session prep.
* '''Structure Your Encounters''': Draw inspiration from AD&D modules by structuring your encounters and events, including scene-by-scene planning.
* '''Anticipate Player Actions''': Prepare for potential conflicts and complications, as player choices can drastically alter the course of the adventure.
* '''Keep it Concise''': While detail is important, prioritize key information for quick reference during gameplay.
* '''Use Lists and Bullet Points''': For sections with multiple items (NPCs, hooks, challenges), use lists for better readability.
* '''Read Ahead''': Like the old modules, read the adventure material thoroughly before the session.
* '''Be Flexible''': Be prepared to deviate from your plans based on player actions.
* '''Provide meaningful choices''': Give players agency, and make their choices have real impacts on the story.
* '''Have Fun''': Remember that the goal is to create an enjoyable experience for everyone at the table.
