Probably depends on their goals. It sounds like one of @iserith ’s goals is to keep unused prep to a minimum, so he would likely be more ok with winging it than contingency planning. On the other hand, @Lanefan ‘s goals seem to be to act as a completely impartial referee, so he would probably not be super cool with winging it, but might be more ok with contingency planning (at a guess, I’d say it probably depends on the particulars of the contingencies for him - for example, the idea that a festival would happen “three days after the players arrive in town” would probably be a non-starter for him, but “if the players are in town on the 7th of Winterstide, the following festival is taking place: [details of the festival follow] would probably be A-Okay with him. Pretty much the opposite of what I imagine would be @iserith’s preference.)But someone who looks down on planning a contingency is definitely going to look down on having no contingency at all and just winging it, aren't they? As far as I can tell, both approaches validate/invalidate player agency to an equal degree.
