This looks like rather good advice, and I like the comparison to brutalist architecture. It feels like it fits, because so many seem to think brutalist architecture is ugly.

Personally, I like how functional it is; and similarly, functional (if plain) adventures make for good sessions.

    No plot survives contact with the players. Prepping places and people always works better for me than plot, at least now I’ve got some confidence improvising.

    I think this is a good base but I do like a lot of the fluff and twiddly bits in stone games for adding flavour and interest. I think a true brutalist game wouldn’t be much fun to play as you’d end up with not much game to play in.
