Planning!

They say a stitch in time saves nine, and sometimes one night of planning in the grand scheme of your campaign saves a lot of headaches all around. Last night we took time out to plan out what will happen in our Warhammer campaign and our Dark Sun upcoming game. Now, we all have a better idea on how things will go, Jason can tailor our games, and we had more than a few laughs.

Of course, not all planning goes smoothly or well. We had the great beginnings of a plan for our Dark Sun game this Wednesday and then one of our players couldn’t make it. Instead, Jason is crafting another adventure all together, so it is working out. Yet, it proves that flexibility never hurts anything.

I think that is one of the best things about being a gamer – you learn to think on your feet. Of course, it never hurts to have a soft place to land if you should fall, and that is what having a plan framework can give you. Just remember, don’t take it or yourself too seriously.
