Prep time prior to a tabletop RPG can be it&#39;s own art form. Some GM&#39;s skip prep all-together and just wing it. Others spend countless hours to ensure an incredible experience is had. But what if there&#39;s another way to approach your next pre-session?

This one may seem quite maddening, but I thought what if I just decided to catch up with all the prompts I didn&#39;t get to cover and do lightning rounds with each? As I did my notes for quite a few of these, they sparked ideas for future episode topics I want to elaborate on, so quantity over quality has won the day... or at least this special.

AM #RPGaDay2020 Day 14: "Banner.... Session"

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2022/3/17/15/e3e2365a-1a23-4118-aa03-d33019a5df49_ng_2F2020-7-4_2F95537571-44100-2-8034f8bda3327.m4a

This bonus episode of Aqualith AM is covering the fourth day&#39;s prompt, &#34;Vision&#34;. This one goes longer than previous, and I took a more crunchy approach by reading through the rulings on vision in various darkened areas. Less commentary from me, but I hope that in listening, you might pick up on the differences and use of voice for each. I would love to extrapolate on these concepts further in the future. RPG-a-Day has enabled me to do some experimentation and see what works, while also stretching my ability to solo-podcast, which I have not done for a good fifteen years. I welcome feedback on this style of presentation as well as on the subject and rules when it comes to vision in the comments.

This bonus episode of Aqualith AM is covering the fourth day's prompt, "Vision". This one goes longer than previous, and I took a more crunchy approach by reading through the rulings on vision in various darkened areas. Less commentary from me, but I hope that in listening, you might pick up on the differences and use of voice for each. I would love to extrapolate on these concepts further in the future. RPG-a-Day has enabled me to do some experimentation and see what works, while also stretching my ability to solo-podcast, which I have not done for a good fifteen years. I welcome feedback on this style of presentation as well as on the subject and rules when it comes to vision in the comments.
