The art of campaign design is just that - an art. How do we as the Game Masters stop doing all of the work and watch as the system we put into place does the work for us? Well, in this video, I talk about how to design your RPG campaign in a way that makes your life easier. From NPCs, to plots, to encounters - we talk about what you should be planning and what you should be doing on the fly, and how to go about doing this. Whether you're designing a campaign for a DnD game, a Pathfinder expedition or a Star Wars adventure, these tips will help to remove the burden and bring the joy back into the being the GM at your tabletop RPG sessions.
