Issue #357 of Role-playing Tips Weekly is available online - 9 Spheres Of Influence
My Broad RPG Planning Checklist

In the latest issue posted to the site Johnn goes over his 9 Spheres of Influence which forms a type of checklist that he uses when he’s planning. It’s his ‘top down’ approach to his RPG endeavors including everything from the campaign level right down to the encounter.

There’s a lot to be said about this approach, in fact I find that some of his thought process and ideas mirror my own. I hope you find some good information in there as well.

Enjoy!
