Ive been a DM for 30+ years and do practically zero prep. If the Rules Cyclopedia doesnt have what I need I just make it the fuck up, which is, yknow, half the DM’s job - improvising answers that make sense.
As a dm for me theres no game if im not inventing the world. For exampe one game was that of the players being chased by a lich rampaging across the world because they had the piece his immortality spell needed to be complete. This idea came about cause i decided to see what combo of spells one could use to become immortal. Another idea got torpedoed in session zero when i tried to do a genetation ship situation and a player guessed it, so i had to come up with a whole different idea that i think turned out much better.
As a dm where is the fun of the game if i leave all that to a computer?
