[QUOTE="Whizbang Dustyboots, post: 9542562, member: 11760"] A rules for everything approach combined with asking questions about actionable elements of the environment would lead to enormous rulebooks. From a practical standpoint, it probably has to be paired with light rules. But you're not missing anything. This part is essentially like playing make-believe without rules or dice or character sheets at all. "You wake up in what appears to be the attic of a strange house you don't know, with no memories of how you got here." "Do I see anything in the room? Is there a window?" "There's a tiny window, smaller than your head, at one end of the attic. There are also lots of boxes and what appear to be furniture and other objects draped under sheets." "OK, I look out the window and see if I can tell where I am, then after that, I start examining things in the room." "As you head toward the window, the floorboards creak ominously under your weight. It's too dark to be sure, but it feels like the boards may be in bad shape and might not support your weight everywhere in the room." "Hmmm, can I see well enough to look for larger, sturdier boards? Or are there overhead ceiling beams I can hold onto to help take some of my weight off the floor?" Like that. Only with mimics and basilisks. [/QUOTE]
