[QUOTE="Oryan77, post: 3340796, member: 18701"] Hmm, I never thought about their being a difference really. I just think of each place a PC goes to as being just another environment whether it's a room or an outdoor setting. My city/town descriptions are kept no longer than my example boxed text so the players [b]don't[/b] get annoyed. I'll describe those larger areas more as the PC's move along in the city. But at that point, I'll describe things in my own words rather than boxed text since I hopefully already established the mood. I get what you're saying here and I agree that when you think about it...it comes off as less controlling to the players. But is it really that big of a deal to players? So the DM says "you see" instead of "to the left there is"...if a player at my table had a problem with that, I'd tell them they probably should find another hobby if something that small ruffles their feathers. I personally have never given it any thought at all until I read this thread :p A DM could tell me what I see all day long & I'd never think twice about it as long as it was helping me get a mental image of his scene.
