I use it more and more now as a transition piece - to help keep the players on track etc.For example, when the players get on the boat they are waiting for in my upcoming game, I will have something like so (this is not the exact 'boxed text', it's just a quick example)...On the other hand...As a player, boxed text to me seemed to draw (my) attention to the fact that this was probably all predetermined - you were intended to get to this point and you may not have had much of a choice about it.So the question is, what do you think of boxed text in this regard, from both a Player and DM standpoint?</blockquote>
