[QUOTE="R-Hero, post: 5340809, member: 23687"] I was in a little of a hurry when I posted last week. The DM in question is known here at EnWorld as Jollydoc. (Read some of his story hours, good read) I wasn't in this particular game but it as told to me around the table while reminiscing about some fun times. J.D. is by far one of the best DMs I've had the honor to play with. He wouldn't have tried to intentionally fool the players into wasting resources. But, being the cut throat type of Dm he is, he wasn't going to hold the players hand either and stopped them from doing what they wanted to do in game. Per your example, no he would not describe every twig the charactes saw, PROVIDED they were in a forest or something similar. The group was in a dungeon enviroment and the twig/pitchers-mound looked out of place. (Just like a shiny crystal ball would look out of place in a forest, ergo deserved a description as well) There was no special emphasis placed but it [I]was[/I] the proverbial balloon being floated in front of the guys playing. Bottom line, we all play to have fun and sometimes the bad guy's win. I don't know of any people that leaves JD.s table and has not have fun. [/QUOTE]
