Who, me?
If so, yes. I spend hour upon hour planning and writing this sort of background stuff. (Or y'know, adapting it from the Aotrs databank.)
It's why I don't do off the cuff DMing, because it has to be done, and it has to done right! (You wouldn't beleive the amount of research I sunk into my not-Roman country, down the point of working out Legionary pay based on Roman bread prices...)
Huh. I just realised I'mnearlyas obsessive as Rarity...
Well, now you know.
And knowing is half the battle or somesuch...
