That's as a player.As a GM it gives me the ability to prepare something for the direction the group wants to go in rather than improving the whole thing. That's very useful to me when I GM, since I'm a good improv GM but I get better with some prep work.That's not saying a "you're at the gate, go!" campaign is bad, it's just something that I would prefer to avoid at this point in my life.So it's all a matter of opinion, but there are some very good reasons on both sides, and that's something that seems to be lost here.--Steve</blockquote>
