I just had to say that the only thing I always do (aside from the standard reread my notes, set up the map, etc.) is a recap of what happened the last time. I started saying, "When we last left our intrepid heroes..." about the 2nd or third time we played, I think. I just said it because I liked the sound of it, and when else can you say that! And then, one day I didn't say it. I hadn't meant it to be a tradition or anything, so one day I just didn't say it. I got a couple shocked looks from people, and one blurted out, "But...but....but...you didn't say it!" Little did I know that it had become an important tradition to them, helping them make the transition from hanging out to playing!

The main reason why they are my favourites at the moment is that they are the most immediately useful to me since I am about to start running a new campaign.
