How do you want to do this?
It’s the question that a lot of live-play watchers love to hear. They’ve struck the final blow on the enemy, and now you ask them how they felled their foe. And maybe they have a great and cinematic final move. But sometimes they don’t. Some people — like me — don’t think very visually. When asked this question, I tend to freeze and eventually say that I… uh… stab them. In the face. Wait no, I used a spell. I burn them to death! To um… ashes. Yeah.
It’s (a little) embarrassing for me, and doesn’t give my Storytellers a lot to work with. So Aron — who is my most frequent GM — has started asking me a new question: Do you want me to describe this, or do you?
Perfect. It works for when I want to describe spells or killing blows, pretty clothes in a party scene, or even just where my character lives. If I have an idea, great! I go wild on it to give him the gory or beautiful details. But when I don’t have any ideas (which is often), then Aron jumps in with his lavish and cinematic descriptions. For me, it’s been the best of both worlds.
