I read encyclopedias for fun (well, it was a very boring summer).For me, I love describing the minutiae, but it almost never comes up. If I'm running a d20 Modern game, I'll scratch out a rough plan of what's in a room, and then they'll just Breeze past it. if it's a D&D game, it's much the same, only if it looks valuable, they take it to sell.I have the complete opposite problem, but it comes down to the fact that, you know what, it doesn't matter. Just grab a picture off of Google for what's in the room, and if they want to mess with it, show them. Also, ask yourself these kinds of questions. Is is a diesel generator? Ok, then it's making a lot of noise, and smells bad, plus it's probably running low on fule unless it's connected to a larger tank. Or, don't put these things in if they aren't needed.As for setting information, you live in the modern world. Just grab the paper, and boom, current events and plot ideas all in one place.</blockquote>
