I made myself stacks and stacks of 3x5 index cards over the years with cheat sheet information, now mostly lost to pizza stains and coffee spills.I liked the article more as a reminder of things you forget over the years of running games. Most longterm DMs tailor their pre-game setup, but over time things that help the players or remind yourself may be overlooked. This could also serve as a reminder for module-DMs to not just run things by-the-book, adding in character and story detail of your own. There are plenty of tabletop gamers that are timid about drawing outside of the lines.</blockquote>
