[UA] Stupid Newbie GM questions...

[Anthony H.]

You know, I've owned UA for years and never once ran it. It's one of the
most daunting games to make a plot for. I love the material though. I just
wish I could shape it into a workable plot...

The other issue is players. I live in South Dakota, where RPGs are still the
work of the Devil. It makes it a bit difficult to find players that play
anything other than d20 or Exalted, as there is no audience for the "more
obscure" games.

So... is it hard to make up a story? How much time do you usually spend
planning a session?
