[QUOTE="Olaf the Stout, post: 2878546, member: 13703"] Funny that you should mention that. I did ask everyone at the start whether they would like to play those sorts of things out over e-mail (especially since when you play once a fortnight time is precious). I don't think that I got much of an answer from the group at the time but I asked everyone again in the last e-mail I sent out yesterday after the session. I personally like playing through the little details. I am aware that some people don't though and also that, even if people do, it normally results in everyone else sitting around getting bored while one person deals with their stuff. E-mail is great for handling this sort of thing. If the session ends in town I can get the players to e-mail me what they want to do (if anything) for the next couple of days. Since we only play once a fortnight it means that there is plenty of time to play it out, even if you are only checking your e-mails every day or so. My issue is more with him wanting to video game it all (i.e. I found 9 light crossbows, should I write that down or just convert it into its GP resale value?). Okay, so it's not quite as bad as I make it out to be in my example but you get the picture. Its like he's Neo in the Matrix and all he can see in XP and GP rather than people, monsters and items.
