[QUOTE="thundershot, post: 1068822, member: 628"] As a DM, I use [i]appears[/i] and [i]apparently[/i] a lot, now to the point where I do with mundane tasks. "Okay, I'm starting the campfire, and the others will check for wild animals at the camp." "The fire appears to light." My other favorite is [i]menacingly[/i]. It started with monsters, but then one day... "The door opens... menacingly." And now it's used all the time. Unfortunately, they're so used to it, they don't get the point when something IS menacing. :D The other one, which hasn't been used in a while, but was used again last night, originated when the characters were on a sentient ship in Spelljammer, and they were talking to it. The one player chimed in (and her character wasn't even there), and I replied, in the ship's soft voice "You're not here, bitch" without missing a beat. So now, whenever a player interrupts while their character isn't there, someone always says, "You're not here... bitch." Last night, the newest player had that happen to him, and Christy said it, and he looked at her. "Why'd you call me a bitch?!" We all got a chuckle out of it. Chris [/QUOTE]
