Hello r/DMAcademy, I have a question about how you all decide to approach planning your campaigns and how much work you actually put into making the encounters (narrative and combative).

I have been DMing for a few years now and I'm looking to step up my game in a variety of aspects. Right now, I'm very curious about planning a game. Before, I would just think of a concept, build the world around that concept, and just... run the game. Any planning that I would do is weekly, preferably a few days before the next session.

Do you all prefer to have a guideline that you follow when making your games? A general story path that you follow? Or are you more of a "wing it" DM, also planning a few days or even a few hours before session?
