[QUOTE="bloodtide, post: 9125072, member: 6684958"] As an outdoor gaming entheusits we use Off!, Citronella Candles and fire to keep mosquitos away. And you might notice what I say is never directed at a person. I say "A Improv game has no prep", does not say anything about any person. General is good. If I wanted to talk about Game X, I can make a thread called "What I think about game X". An Easy Button game is where the players can have characters do anything with no effort: The players can always push the Easy Button. This is not one or more set games: it can be any RPG. No? Again, a Casual DM would not prep a lot. They would not be a Casual DM if they did. A DM that does a ton of prep and does not care how it turns out, is a Careless DM or a Time Wasting DM or a Silly DM. There can always be mixes and crossovers....people are like that. But for the most part a Casual DM typical shows up with NOTHING, not even the game rule book: they are so cool that they say "I knows all the important rules" and "can look them up on my phone anyway." A lot of Casual DM will often "forget" even dice...and then have to borrow someone else dice.....or just roll for everything with the d6's from their Travel Yahtzee game found under their bed. This is how things work. Oh, sorry don't have the bandwidth.....yuck yuck yuck [/QUOTE]
