And somedays, drawing maps is fun, so he draws out every detail of the next encounter (and the surrounding areas besides)? And somedays, watching TV is fun so he goes into a game with nothing more than a cool idea and faith in his own improvisational abilities?Or maybe it IS all or nothing. Maybe I'm either detailing every required stat block there could ever be, or else I'm a DM who doesn't even try to follow the rules. Maybe those are the only two choices.But I'm not sure about that.</blockquote>
