[QUOTE="Zad, post: 995561, member: 90"] The interesting thing I find as a reader who is never at the table is that it changes my perception of the characters. When I only see the cleaned up dialogue and such, I get a certain impression of the characters. When I hear Morningstar making an amusing quip, it makes her seem more like a character around my own gaming sessions since none of us can resist such a thing when it comes up. It makes them seem less . . . heroic? remote? (I'm at a loss for a good word) and more like real people. This is neither good nor bad, but it's the biggest thing I noticed. Perhaps it would be accurate to say it is both good *and* bad and sort of depends on the kind of tone you're going for in your story. Our game sessions are filled with every wise crack you can find (heck Scorch having his eye cut out resulted in every eye joke written for the rest of the night) but for the most part it doesn't make the story hour, resulting in a certain serious tone. Is that good or bad? Beats me. I just write it - you don't think I actually read my junk do you? :) [/QUOTE]
