[QUOTE="WhatGravitas, post: 4224588, member: 33132"] Not to dig on you, Aria, but perhaps you convey a similar message to your players - probably even without recognizing. My players (as I'm the primary DM of my group) are pretty open about new things and rules - mainly because we discuss and vote over them. For example, if I'd try to sell the "no-5-min-break-identification", I'd say something like that: "Hey guys, for the next game, I want to make magic a bit more mysterious to add to the atmosphere. So I don't want auto-identify, because it would break that atmosphere and gives you some extra opportunities to role-play a bit. Is that okay with you guys?" And usually, they're open to at least try it (though I *as DM* handwaved item identification, because it drags the plot... "we need downtime", "we need to get pearls"... and so on). But then, my group is pretty open in general and also enjoys trying out other RPGs. Cheers, LT. [/QUOTE]
