Varies wildly depending on system, but I generally try to make sure there’s some sort of large conflict that they’re trying to solve which usually has a few smaller conflicts involved. In DnD those smaller conflicts are often combat, but in Forged in the Dark games there’s more variety.

It’s rare that the big thing for a session is combat unless I’ve set up some sort of boss battle, but hey, sometimes the players want to kill things, I’m not gonna stop them 🤷
