Three live arguments in ttrpg campaigns that are worth having in public

The debates worth having are about how much prep is enough, whether rules-light oracles reduce or deepen creativity, and how much campaign continuity should live in formal notes versus table memory. Those questions matter because they shape the feel of play, not because one side is morally superior.

Three questions worth debating:
- how much prep is enough before improvisation becomes stronger
- whether one-shots or campaigns teach better GM habits
- how much system complexity helps versus slows table flow
