Thanks for a great post. The best thing I've found is to reduce my expectations for what kind of prep I need. I have to constantly remind myself that I don't need fully-written boxed text, or full paragraphs—or even complete sentences—describing the scene, results of the PCs' actions, etc. A bullet list or mind map for each encounter, or an event flowchart, or a dungeon map with minimal notes, is about all the "fluff" that I actually need to write out. Then I can spend my precious prep time on generating any necessary stat blocks, pulling the necessary minis or props, and getting ready to roll. I don't think the rules for Three-Dragon Ante are published online anywhere (legitimately); they're on a little pamphlet inside the box. .-= Icosahedrophilia´s last blog ..Icosahedrophilia Podcast, Episode 21: Feed the Dead, Part 2 =-.

Maid: RPG is my game of choice when things aren't ready. Characters are rolled in like 8 minutes (2 or 3 minutes with the 1d4chan Maid: RPG character generator) and we can play the comedy escapades of a bunch of maids trying to please the unpleasable Master in a mansion IN SPACE. (Or some other randomly generated idea brought by the game's many, many tables.) .-= Wyatt´s last blog ..30 Cultural Quirks In Spirits of Eden =-.

@ Ian
While I’ve heard of 3-Dragon Ante I’ve never played. Do you happen to have a link to the rules?

We've started playing 3-Dragon Ante when things aren't ready. We've used it in some of our games too for some interesting story points. .-= Ian´s last blog ..Groz levels =-.
