[QUOTE="Helldritch, post: 8059667, member: 6855114"] Did read your post and did liked it. You "chastize" me for not reading and yet, just after that you re state that to do justice to an AP it takes more than a few notes... I do not need that much time to tailor an AP to either of my groups. First because I can read very fast and also because I have 37 years of DMing behind me. The fact that I have known some of my players for almost 5 decades helps too. The second groups are younger and were former students of mine. To take your own words, the more "thoughtful" approach is, for me, as fast as your less "thoughtful" one. I am a very structured DM. I take notes both during and after each sessions and I reread them before the next one to make adjustments to better suit the group. This is mainly because that at one time, I could have as much as 5 different groups. That is too much information to retain for a single person. Notes were the answer and it serves me well. These notes allow me to improvise a lot without derailing too far in o e direction or the other. Edit: try it, notes changed a lot for me. It allowed me to improvise a lot and remain consistant. I wonder why the edit did not appeared in the original post....? [/QUOTE]
