I have and have read FR since it first came out but for the life of me couldn't Tell you much abou the details so referencing a book all night didn't appeal to me.  So I homebrew. Almost entirely off the cuff. I tend to follow the two rules have the really big picture and the character veiw picture figured out. To explain I know what each nation, the government etc is doing who trades with who etc. ; And I know what possible things the characters could encounter in one to two sessions. I work both ends of the spectrumn. I do write a big over veiw of the Gods and world/society but it amounts to a paragraph each. If the players need to know more they ask. I spend lots of my free time planning but only in my head. I hit every possibility I can think of and have a few fall back positions in case they surprise me. Luckily I am A GM who can give an answer to a question in a half second then spend the week figuring out why I gave that answer and what exactly it means. Sort of Intuitive Gaming. And yes this has bit me in the buttocks but I never let a player know I was wounded.I also Ran my present goup in my own Homebrew game so the world was all new as well I worked it the same way as well as designing rules etc. I do the technical/rules design much better than the world design before hand meaning I have very complete rules in an incomplete unformed world. I have found my inspiration when the pressure is on is ten times better than my pre planned work. My pre planned work always lays the foundation for my inspiration so I cannot do one without the other.Just a few thoughtsLater</blockquote>
