[QUOTE="Painfully, post: 1464766, member: 601"] I don't understand why you are trying to label yourself. If your players are happy with your work as a DM, then it doesn't really matter if you're lazy or not. Some DMs need a lot of time to prepare, while others improvise almost everything. Most DMs fall somewhere in between. I think you will find it difficult to label a "lazy DM" without knowing exactly what they put into their game preparation. Even the laziest of DMs might be able to pull off a great game, as long as they can improvise well. If you dig deeper into what goes on with the DM, you're more likely to notice style differences. As long as a DM can pull off a game, then how does a player know if the DM is lazy? It's like describing a lazy poet. How do you know how lazy they are as long as they write the poem? And frankly, who cares? As long as the players/readers enjoy it, it's a non-issue. ;) [/QUOTE]
