What prevents you (or your table) from doing so?Another thought that came to mind is that having awareness of what kinds of activities are engaging to players as a table runner, should show in some measure towards what kinds of situations present themselves in game.Have several players that check out in combat, but like to solve puzzles? Rather than having your 11ty billionth, bog standard run in with goblins, have a puzzle that will be beneficial in some way if the party can give their companions time to solve it, while fighting goblins. Oh, and some number of those greenskins, have just peeled off down a different corridor to seek more help.</blockquote>
