Return of the Lazy Dungeon Master

by Michael E. Shea

Checklist for Lazy Campaign Preparation Prepare the overall campaign in the same manner that you prepare your next session. That next session always matters the most. Develop a spiral campaign that focuses on what matters to the characters right now, and which spirals out as the characters move out into the larger world. Build a campaign hook that focuses the campaign on a single major goal everyone can understand. State the six truths of your campaign that separate it from other campaigns. Use the six truths to help the players build characters that fit the campaign theme. Define three fronts—the major actors for the campaign—including their goals and three grim portents that show their progress.
