This adventure sounds great. The Three Musketeers, in movies, book, cartoons, has been a part of my life as a child and adult. A mashup RPG that lets me revisit it? Awesome!

This video shows that one of the key things a DM needs is a firm understanding of their world, or at least the location where the scenario takes place. A good map helps. Once you have that, the actual adventure can be two pages of notes. You can run a campaign for years with just a good map and a vision of the game world. You don’t need dozens of pages of world building. In fact, it often works out better if you make things up on the fly - just write them down.

Just finished my campaign in Middenheim two months ago. Was supposed to go for 12 sessions but we spend well over a year there. Such a rich setting. All because you advised Power behind the Throne in your video. So thanks!

Great video, PDM - really inspiring!! I'm still working on distilling scenarios down to 2 facing pages. I try and divide my sessions into 2 or 3 acts, and I'll have 2 pagers for each of those acts. So the game still runs smoothly and I've got the information I need with almost no page turns or searching. It's definitely a great way to know the ins & outs of an adventure.

Here is what I see on PDM's two-pager that I think is great: * Clear summaries of important facts * Rumors * Read-aloud text that PDM now knows better because he wrote it out himself * Color-coded highlights * Simple drawings that add to the atmosphere Do you find that the pages are too dense with material? After creating this two-pager, do you have to look at it much?
