I think on-the-fly really only works if you've spent the time honing your narrative reflexes. (Plus I believe that true spontaneity comes from marinating in your campaign world enough that you can answer questions that come up instinctively. I bet if your players ducked into a random doorway in Yoon-Suin you'd be able to tell them what's beyond in short order even if you hadn't explicitly written it up.)<br /><br />Long story short, I think time is a factor but you need to know the most enriching way to spend it. To each their own. It's really all about developing that comfort level for when you go out on stage.
