I DM for mostly newbies and there tends to be a lot of metagaming. I try to give a nice description everytime they encounter something important, but I notice that their attention spans fade when I'm starting to get too descriptive. Also I must add (something I'm struggling with a lot), we're all dutch. So I can't just copy the monster-descriptions out of the MM and I find that dutch language doesn't lend itself to evocative descriptions quite as well as english does. All the stuff I read about D&D and fantasy adventuring is in english, so (though it's really inspiring) it's kinda cramping my ability to provide the same effect in my own language. I therefore often have to make up descriptions on the fly and because I'm constantly searching for the right words to describe a situation it sometimes comes over dull or clumsy.(edited for typos)</blockquote>
