This is a long blog post and the following quote is a little ways into it
This is our big premise: the essence of the dungeon in RPG's is lost. But my maps look just like Dave's maps you say. Well, consider that Dave was drawing on a feeling he had and not just draftsmanship. He created an experience for his players like none other. That experience is based in the same feeling he got over a weekend spent at home.
I like where this blog post goes and I am in agreement with it. I think this describes what the best referees do and what everyone else strives for.
