[QUOTE="5ekyu, post: 7596421, member: 6919838"] There is a gray area... even to the interruption snhlr. There are some GMs who (maybe poor form or maybe by design) dont explicitly mark the end of their stage in the play loop with a formal declaration every scene. Maybe their description includes water flooding into the room and "begins to rise, it's now above your ankles, continuing to rise" or maybe it's some batch of walking or shambling menace "moves closer" etc Sometimes it just a more rookie GM thing but sometimes it's more a setting atmosphere and sense of impending threat that *formally acknowledging the beginning and end stage of each segment in the hitherto agreed upon by all parties play loop* fits like letting the air out of a wet bslloon. Not every group is ss hung up on the formal process steps done in the proper order **in actual play** as folks on forum threads sometimes seem to sanctify. [/QUOTE]
