[QUOTE="Rocinante, post: 6006434, member: 83794"] Never even heard of Molthune, but I get your gist. And I agree, it's really nice to be able to refer to a book really quick for some bit of esoterica. On the other hand, it's nice to make it up on the fly. That way takes effort, though. If you make it up instead of look it up, you need to [I]write it down[/I] or you're likely to forget your on-the-fly ruling and screw it up later. And you can't rely on your players to have the same bad memory you have. Or I never could, at least. But hey, a three-ring binder and a pack of paper isn't that expensive. Just jot down notes then once the game is over for the evening, formalize it in a database on your computer for later perusal. I've been gaming for so many years that I've come to greatly appreciate the ability to plug info into a handy-dandy computer file, something I couldn't do in my youth. It was the early 90's before I had a computer to use, and even then I didn't realize how useful it could be for this sort of thing until years later. I was in the habit of using a three ring binder and it took awhile to adapt. I'm rambling, aren't I? I'll shut up now. [/QUOTE]
