[QUOTE="BluWolf, post: 14532, member: 627"] Back in the old days when all I did was ignore school work, I usually didn't have to wing it that much as I had WAY to much resource material prepared. In fact, most of my parties had a good probability of dieing of boredom from missing a "resist background" roll versus some dumbass kobold. (yes I stole this joke from Nodwick). Years later I have learned that there is a time and place for everything AND I don't have anywhere near the time I used to. So I end up winging it alot. My favorite thing to do is actually winging wandering monster encounters in the wild. When doing wandering monster checks in the wild I doing the "you see a bunch of Orcs riding towards you" crap. So I do the wandering monster checks behind the screen. I have a self imposed ground rule, if the party fails a wandering monster check, that monster has to come with some sort of logical location or setup. Example; last year on the way to the sunless citadel the party failed a wandeirng monster check. I had seen a pretty cool moster that fit nicely into my ravaged world sceanrio ad secided to use it. When it came time for the party to bed down for the night I had them discover and ancient ruin of an ampitheater with an old semi working water fountain. They decided it would make a great place to bed down for the night (OK all you Meta gamers just be quiet). During the night the party was attacked by 3 Feyrs from Dragon magazine (don't recall the issue). In hind sight, the challenge level was too high for 5 first level characters but 3E had only been out 4 montsh and we were all still new too it. A little long winded way of saying, yes, I wing it all the time and enjoy it. [/QUOTE]
