[QUOTE="5ekyu, post: 7298456, member: 6919838"] A KEY difference between us RE the bold is who is "they" referenced in that sentence and how much screentime does that get? the scene as described by GMfor... said nothing at all about were the CHARACTERS being cautious at every door, it simply showed a different way pf dividing ON_SCREEN vs OFF_CAMERA activities. Ever watch MST3K? i loved a send up they did for some old 60s movie about yeti which it seemed showed "characters walking in a spiral uphill by a fern" at least 50 times or more to represent climbing the mountain to get to the "yeti eats you" phase. it ate up actually quite a bit of the run time of the film. Whether it is for movies, books, video games or other forms of storytelling, every single media shows and uses ON_SCREEN vs OFF_CAMERA editing of content as a thing. Sometimes it is integral to the story and drama. just because something like "door protocol 7" is not shown in play at the table by the PLAYERS at every door does not mean the CHARACTERS necessarily did not act just as cautiously at those doors. So its nothing about "should the characters be cautious at..." in any way. it is about "how we edit our on-screen time". [/QUOTE]
