[QUOTE="Isida Kep'Tukari, post: 6210111, member: 4441"] For the "immersion" aspect of the game, you could try something like this. Hold two XP cards (or tokens you're using to represent XP) in your hand, showing this is an intrusion, but don't stop your narrative. Like so: Player: "Thirwen moves across the platform to cover Jaseen as she tries to get the anti-grav platform going, and fires an arrow at the abhumans to keep them away. I rolled a 12." DM (holds XP tokens up): "As you move across the platform, your foot contacts a patch of oil and your feet begin to slide out from under you..." If the player accepts your intrusion, taking the tokens from you - DM: "...and your balance is off as you fire your arrow. It does indeed strike the abhuman, but goes through his body and hits a gap in the wall covering. Sparks fly, and a wailing alarm is triggered. You hear the pounding of feet in the distance. More abhumans are converging on your location!" If the player refuses your intrusion, paying you a token instead - DM: "...but you recover adroitly and your arrow downs the abhuman cleanly." That way you never have to explicitly drop the story, but the player still has the "choose his own adventure" option. [/QUOTE]
