[QUOTE="Oryan77, post: 5379534, member: 18701"] My problem is that I think I would not be able to do it with a straight face. I would struggle not to laugh out how lame I was being. My players are those people that will react to any little twitch on my face. If they think my NPC is up to something, they'll look at me intently to see if they can read my face and metagame something from my dopey expression. It doesn't help the situation when I notice them doing this and I start to grin. Then they say, "See, I know he's up to something. We can't trust this guy." Then I am forced to speak out of game, "Guys, it's a one-legged orphan dying from disease & starvation." Then they respond with, "Yeah, but you have this look on your face and I don't trust him. I check my money pouch." Might be fun. It's sort of the angle I was going for with this thread. But the thread doesn't seem to be getting much response. I'm sure a funny contest would get more attention. We'd need to set some standards and come up with a generic scenario for everyone to base their boxed text off of. :D [/QUOTE]
