[QUOTE="happyhermit, post: 7302519, member: 6834463"] It's funny how differently people see things, I had to re-read this part to realize that you were putting forth those questions from the GM as a sort of shutting down of the actions. To me "So how do you do that?" in whatever form is just a natural part of my favorite RPGs where there is a lot of detailed description of what is happening (usually much more than any mechanical terms) as a player I take it as an invitation from the GM to explain some stuff and possibly get a better idea of how things will work. As a GM I often use questions like that as a way to flesh out the scene, and particularly how certain characters are behaving to make them living things rather than bits of rules. They tend to get directed more often (by myself and other PCs) at players who tend to neglect those sorts of things because it makes the game more fun for the group when we can really imagine the whole scene and not just focus on the mechanics of the game (we have plenty of boardgames for that). No idea if you really meant those questions in the way I thought, but just found it interesting. [/QUOTE]
