Except the obvious purpose, it also helps to organize your ideas in a way. Everything is clearly written down. Tommi: There are many ways to GM RPG. Some people like to plan a campaign, some appreciate the freedom that playing without any specific framework gives. I usually try to combain both (general plan + rather loose adventures).

It also involves planning a campaign ahead of time, which, to me, makes little sense. All that fun is, for me, seeing how things turn out, so planning that before play is actively counterproductive. A reliationship map with factions is a nice idea: I did one with NPCs and faction for the Burning Wheel game I GM'd. They are great tools for connecting the parts and making the PCs central to the action. Michal,
