not hacked clothes but hacked cars yes <| sep |> In advance I write some likely outcomes in some notes . If I suspect they ' ll be overland travelling I preroll random encounters so it ' s seemless during play . A couple days in advance I write up the adventure summary for the previous session . I post it on our campaign website for all to see . This keeps the last session super fresh in my head . Get the table and my laptoptv situation all setup . Load up any maps so the players can see them on the big screen , get my OneNote stuff in order . Grab a beer , get any food items laid out in the kitchen , put on the background music , set the lighting and review notes as people start filtering in . Dammit now I want to play ! Last session I had to call off halfway in because I was oncall and shit cropped up at work .
