Everyone don't forget that today is the last day before badge prices increase. We ended up skipping Sunday since 3 day badges are already sold out and just doing Friday/Saturday.

Somewhere there was the 3 x 3 x 3 adventure design, which said have three interesting locations to explore, three interesting fights, three supporting cast members to meet, and so on. So you could make sure you did not miss the cool idea you had in mind without locking yourself into any forced pattern. That has worked well for me. (Wish I could remember who suggested it though. kudos to you whoever you are!)
My MASKS game is probably where I put in the most prep as I want to get the historical details mostly right and it is more a reactive game. Baddies do something, the heroes intervene to stop them, as is often the case in supers stories.

Reply: General Role-Playing:: Re: QOTD OCT 22: What is your most effective technique for ending a game session at a satisfying point?
Posted: Thu, 22 Oct 14:40:56
As closing time comes near, I look for good places to end the session, either cliff hanger or a break in the action. We don't have a hard stopping time but aim for around 10 pm +/- 15 mins usually.
I usually also ask what the group thinks about doing next session, so that I can guide my prep, if I need to.
