That was, however, no drive-by-attack. It was an off remark. Nothing stopped you from politely asking for clarification before assuming the worst and going on the attack and insulting. [MENTION=4937]Celebrim[/MENTION], there is a difference between questioning someone's ideas and denigrating them. And there is also a difference between denigrating a person's ideas and insulting them. You engaged in the latter. And I will drop this matter now. Yes, but you are also taking the extra step to make a game map that may or may not have come in handy. But you were talking about general study of the Roman baths. The moment that you decided to make a game map, sure that constitutes game prep. But I would not say that the stuff before necessarily constitutes game prep until you had the intent to prep. I consider learning as part of being a basic human being. Not everything necessarily does, but learning does not necessarily apply equally in all walks of life. I would not deny it was preparation in tis case because you have indicated an intent to prepare for this campaign. That research with mind on a future campaign would be intent. I'm questioning your unintended prep, such as with the Roman bath houses where you say that it came in handy though you had not originally intended to make a map out of it. These are separate scenarios. I find that kids' shows and cartoons are fantastic sources of inspiration. They may be ridiculous and cheesy, but a lot of the basic tropes are there in digestible chunks with some clear MacGuffins and story goals: e.g. collect the lost 13 Treasures of Rul to save the world of Mer from being consumed by Dark Water.</blockquote>
