[QUOTE="BiggusGeekus, post: 1969725, member: 1014"] No, but I think I know where the DM is coming from. It sounds like he's from the give-the-players-no-extra-information school of thought. This can actualy be good if you are in a mystery or intriuge campaign. For identifying varios species of bison, however, it can be kind of dull. I'd suggest trying the following on a one-on-one basis where you can talk to the guy alone: [i]Hey, R, I really like the campaign we're in. The encounter with the [U]<insert cool encounter here>[/U] was really cool. But I think the descriptions of the monsters that you are giving are detracting from the rest of the game. If you want to take us by surprise, have the monsters sneak up on us or put us in really twisty dungeons so we can't tell what's coming up. I think this twenty-questions stuff is taking away from your story and that's not good, right?[/i]" Just point out to him how his lack of descriptions is hurting, not helping his game. If that doesn't work ... well ... you can always hire mercenaries to incinerate his living room or something. Happy gaming! [/QUOTE]
