I learned that best things come from the right balance between preparation and improvisation. And that balance is approximately 20-80 respectively, at best. I figured that as a DM, I’m also playing, so I roll with my fellow table partners, as the story is unexpected for me as is for them.
Yeah. At this point I try to prepare scenes rather than plots, so hopefully I’ll be able to use my painstakingly prepared battlemap later, rather than not at all.
But it’s fun when the players throw a total curveball, and I need to come up with something on the spot.
