I personally find hard to get immersed in a game with Bob sitting across from you snacking on nachos, and I feel stupid role playing in such a scenario. I'd rather play D&D like a exploration sandbox game combined with a tactical war game in that type of scenario.It's also funny, because our group is pretty anal about resource management in D&D. I've got some pretty serious spreadsheets created up for D&D that track *everything*. Different tastes. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />My main point is anyway, that I strongly oppose any in game manipulation to try and get your players to play the way you [generalised] enjoy. Different strokes for different people. Just have a mature out of game chat about it. There isn't any right or wrong way to play D&D. You need to consider that some people just don't enjoy role playing. No amount of spicing up NPCs or forcing their characters to talk will ever change that.</blockquote>
