It would also depend on the players, and their state of mind. A big "WOO HOO!" is a good indicator that you should continue.<br /><br />The players themselves, and their body language are always the best indicators that your doing a good job, or if you are boring them with stuff.<br /><br />Thanks for that suggestion KaeosdadRipperXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03506064393275174920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7370162161693557709.post-72969207747605285522009-10-22T11:50:10.537-05:002009-10-22T11:50:10.537-05:00nice, excellent post!

Like when you first encounter the BBEG, or you finally discover the secret location of some ancient ruins you've been searching for the last few sessions, or when you first travel through the planes and reach some fantastic outer plane. <br /><br />Those types of scenes deserve I think a little extra time, but as you've said being concise is a player's best friend.Nopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02743719179352388875noreply@blogger.com
