For the benefit of those who might hold delusions that PCs act just like characters in fiction:
Fiction:
“Captain, there was a small unknown energy signature on the rear sensor screens for just a second.”
“It was probably just a sensor glitch, Full speed ahead!”
Game:
“Captain, there was a small unknown energy signature on the rear sensor screens for just a second.”
“Turn the ship around! Full ramming speed! Shields up! We’ll find those cloaked bas***** yet!”
Fiction:
“Boy, I can’t believe airport security these days. They even took my nail file. Oh well, at least we got to our isolated cabin on the lake without a hassle”
*Banjo plays in the distance*
Game:
*Still at the airport*
“Boy, I can’t believe airport security these days. I told them I had permits for every single weapon in my luggage, in my coat and in my shoes!”
*Theme to Die Hard2 plays in the distance*
Fiction:
“Did you hear a noise?”
“Nope, it was nothing. Lets just keep moving along”
Game:
*Players spot the GM rolling a die behind the screen and yet does nothing*
“Did you hear a noise?”
“Nope, but I am not moving from this spot until I Listen something or Spot something!”
Feel free to add.
