[QUOTE="hawkeyefan, post: 8994834, member: 6785785"] Okay... which is it that you think I'm conflating? Prep and consistency as you first said, or prep and collaboration? Let me know which one it is, and I'll explain why you're wrong. Yeah, I understood. Whose D&D game is the Bugs Bunny cartoon and whose is Yellowstone in your comparison?
