Sometimes during campaign prep, things come together just perfectly, whether it's worldbuilding, character building, or anything else. What are some of the times something was just so astonishingly convenient you feel like you just couldn't have planned that any better?
One that happened just now. I'm putting together an Eberron campaign, and at one point the party's going to visit House Tharashk's outpost in Sharn. House Tharashk is the Mark of Finding, so I'm thinking I'm going to play it up full Film Noir. I need to get a name for the secretary. I look up the name of Sam Spade's secretary, and find that it's Effie Perine. Okay, Effie, change it slightly to Ginny. I read on and find that the description of her in the books is: "a lanky sunburned girl whose tan dress of thin woolen stuff clung to her with an effect of dampness." Obviously, a Water Genasi; and just as obviously where she got the nickname.
