Planning the Event

I try to emphasize how important it is to have a well thought out adventure planned, but not everything with a gaming session is the adventure.  Here are a few things to keep in mind.

1)  Do you have your notes?  Top item on my list.  My son, who wants desperately bad to be able to GM like mom and dad, spends about 20 minutes looking for his notes before he does an adventure.  Make sure you have your notes before hand.

2) Do you have appropriate books/dice/equipment?  You need dice, and lots of them, as a GM and your players are going to ask obscure questions, so make sure the rule books are close at hand.

3) Pencils and scratch paper?  Your players are going to need to keep track of hit points and spells used and you and your players are going to need to take notes. 

4) Do you  have food and drinks?  Several hours of playing will require food or drinks of some sort.  If your players are well stocked, it will go a long way to having them like your adventure.

Happy Gaming!
