[QUOTE="bloodtide, post: 9382954, member: 6684958"] It's not really about being an expert.....just a knowledgeable person. A typical Old School DM is keeping track items and materials. This is part of the fun for many Old School DMs. Many Old School players like this too, so everyone matches up ok. There are some players that are more for "whatever" and don't care...and many OS DMs will let them get away with the 'average' result....."you gather wood for the fire and it burns". Another type of fun....a bit beyond the game. Is where the DM and player can share the like of knowledge, history and other topics. This leads into the DM giving the players things to look up and read. Both to expand general real world knowledge....but also help in the game. If a player wants to know more about a topic, I'll give them a reading list. Or even lend them a book. Odd, it's common enough. Kind of the whole point of having different ways to play the game.
