I've long used index cards or index card sized write-ups for NPCs and
the like for my fantasy game. Doesn't work so well for any but the
most basic HERO system creations.
It's a rare event for me to pull out a rulebook. For a while a new
player to the group would try and trip me up on something, after a
long string of failures and one success (a rule change between 4th &
5th edition that I housed ruled back later)- he gave up.
He still uses it as an aid for deciding his own options.
I don't plan out setting/scene in any detail before hand. Too much
work and the gain would be minor if any for my style.
