[UA] 5 minutes til glory

I seem to be the only meticulous preparer left in the RPG business.... ;-)

I tried to keep my current scenario short, and it still fills 10 pages just
for preparation. I usually prepare a storyline as it would unfold without
the PCs intervening. Then I need to jot down a lot of information about GMCs
and possible avenues of investigation the PCs might take. The actual writing
helps me focus because I can tell a story to myself only so far, then I keep
going in circles. If I write it down I can proceed.

The actual amount of those notes I then put to use in-game is rather small.
And I never manage to guess the avenues the players take anyway.

All attempts to use any other style have been futile so far.

Robin
