I would always expect that to be my job.However I do regularly ask players ‘what would your character think about X’ or ‘How would your character feel seeing this for the first time’. Essentially how would their characters react on an intellectual or emotional level. Particularly if I think their characters reaction would have an interesting insight. I find it helps to add to the roleplaying, intrigue and mystery elements of the game. Particularly when playing online and not able to see each other.I’ll also ask players about what they would like their knowledge on a subject to be based on how they view their character. “There is the Four Seasons Coach house, would any of your characters have travelled on the Four Seasons coach before?. I’d then tailor my description to their answer, So I put folks on the spot. But in a way that hopefully doesn’t embarrass them. What do folks think… is it acceptable? Particularly for folks that don’t like description on demand?</blockquote>
