That means clueing your players in on what you're trying to achieve, and getting them to cooperate. It's also a matter of making sure everyone knows the rules, so that you don't 1) have to stop play to look them up; 2) get blindsided when someone quotes a rule you didn't know about, thus throwing your description of the scene into disarray. It's also a matter of not penalising fancy stunts, or at least not penalising them too much. If someone says they make a flying leap at the orc, just let them. Don't get them to make a Jump check, as that sends a message that trying fancy stuff just entails more risk.</blockquote>
