Spurred on by an episode of The Red Caps Podcast I finally decided to have a bit of a solo play using The Fantasy Trip: Melee rules.  The Fantasy Trip: Melee by Steve Jackson Games, available in print and as a free PDF here: http://www.warehouse23.com/products/the-fantasy-trip-melee-pdf Virtual Tabletop was Foundry VTT using the GURPS Game Aid and custom form fillable PDFs Accessed using the PDF Foundry (now deprecated) module for Foundry.

In this episode I discuss how I plan (or to some degree don't plan) my GURPS Campaigns. Unlike my episode on Prime Directive this relates to longer running campaigns and how I run them as open worlds.

This episode is inspired by a reply to a comment I made on Twitter. So let me ramble on slightly about game systems I like... but also, that I don't like. Please be warned, this episode does maybe ramble on a bit, but hopefully there's something thought provoking in there as well! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/gmsshadow/message
