"Play like this breaks my personal immersion because..." "when I'm asked to add details to the world I find myself more immersed in the situation because for me..."Most of the time we just get the word used with minimal added details like we should all just understand it, or the subjective space the poster is coming from with "Oh I hate this and it would break immersion for me."As a GM, I am fully engaged and immersed in play when the players are saying cool stuff about the world and their characters that let me imagine a scene with inputs from their perspective. Ongoing IC dialogue with minimal descriptions drops me out of the scene because I start to just see two players talking back and forth. When people talk about how they move, act, emotional context, paint elements of a scene that add life and vibrancy and take things in a new direction, take a baseline prompt and run off with it and then tie other characters in so we have a free wheeling dramatic moment? That's when my imagination is running at full.And then when players are fully engaged like that, IME they tend to ask interesting questions back at me that spark my input to go to the next height (and in Daggerheart based on its endless poking - to when in doubt do the most dramatic thing), and we get a wonderful creativity spiral.</blockquote>
