Mastering the Art of Minimal Prep for Your Game Night
Learn strategies to streamline your pre-game prep and have more fun at the table.
Introduction
Prepping for a TTRPG session can be exhausting. But what if you could slash your prep time and still run an unforgettable night of adventure? That’s what prep-light play is all about.
Why this matters for your table
Less prep doesnât mean lower quality. In fact, a lighter touch might make your games more flexible and engaging! Players feel more invested when their actions shape the narrative.
Practical examples
- Create open-ended situations rather than scripting specific outcomes.
- Use ready-to-play NPCs and locations from your favorite TTRPG products.
- Encourage players to design aspects of the game world or backstory.
