[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 4215051, member: 2067"] For me and the DMs I play under, keeping secrets isn't a high priority, because it's not a lot of fun for us. I mean, I suppose a DM could keep it from me and giggle about it behind everyone's back, but, for the most part, the DMs I've had have been more keen on saying stuff like "Don't bother telling me the damage on these guys." We're not very adversarial, and we're not very invested in secrets that aren't directly relevant to the game. Why would it? It doesn't annoy me that the DM doesn't waste his breath describing what happened. It bothers me that [I]nothing actually happened[/I]. Listening to the DM go on for 30 seconds about how "he goes 'ouch'" doesn't mean I've actually [I]accomplished[/I] anything. And if I've blown my daily or my per-encounter on this guy? Only to have to do absolutely nothing? Yeah, I'm not really satisfied by DM verbosity. [/QUOTE]
