My apologies for the lack of entries lately. I am still working on the new website, getting the design to look the way I want it to. In the end, I think I'll end up going with a minimalistic design, because anything else I've tried simply looks too busy. When all else fails, going back to the basics is generally considered a good thing.
Once I get the blog moved over to the new site, Fridays will become the day that I discuss the current project I'm working on for Samardan Press. Do you think that Mondays and Wednesdays also need their own theme?
When I think about the kinds of challenges that all Referees, GMs and DMs face when running a campaign, I come up with a short list of different things I could address as the next series for In Like Flynn. Here are some of my thoughts:
- Adventure Creation
- Challenges of Running a Long-Term Campaign
- Encounters or Scenario Creation
- Finding New Players
- Handling Different Player Types
- Locations
- Making Combat Fun and Entertaining
- Map Creation
- Monster Creation
- Organizing Campaign Data
- Role of Organizations
- Running a Focused Campaign (Political, Military, Mercantile, Exploration, etc.)
- Running a Prep Lite Campaign (aka Winging It)
- Setting Creation (Campaign or Mini-Settings)
- Stock NPCs
- Story Arcs
- Unique NPC Creation
What sounds like fun to you? What would you be most interested in reading about? What aspects of running a campaign cause you problems? Please let me know in the Comments section. Remember that your words will help determine the direction of my next series of posts.
With Regards,
Flynn

Given a chance, I would like to read about your thoughts on Monster Creation, Organizing Campaign Data, and Story Arcs.
If you would like someone to debate/bounce ideas off of, I would be quite keen as I suspect we have different approaches to some of these subjects.
