For example, if a location has a small entrance only and inside there's a huge dragon and no other exits, this can be irritating, because there is a very good chance that the players would think the dungeon or cave continues forward, to somewhere from where the dragon came in. This is an example of gross nonsense. You can still have a magical explanation for this, but it's another matter.But even a gross nonsense can be of marginal importance in a certain type of very old-school game of D&D, where it hardly matters at all that things make sense, and the level of simulationism is near zero, and the PCs might literally move from one room to another to find the next monster, without worrying how they stay there without interacting the monsters next room. That doesn't make those games unenjoyable, but they do require to just focus on the single challenges and not on the sense.I honestly don't care for accurate dungeon ecology or layout. If they are accurate then great, but usually I'm hardly paying any attention on whether the place is properly plummed... General sense is enough for me, but the level of details required depend on the players, because whether the orcs have a toilet or not becomes relevant only if the players are of the type that are going to make something out of this kind of information to improve their tactics or advance the story.</blockquote>
