[QUOTE="AlViking, post: 9676660, member: 6906980"] Occasionally I'll do something like make an interesting shopkeeper that for some reason the players just love engaging with. For me? It's not exactly exciting and I remember spending half an hour or so talking about dress an other outfit options for a ball. I kept it up because it's what the players wanted to do. In my last game the players went back and forth on approach to a task. Again I could have just shut it down but they were having fun with it. Every once in a great while I'll intervene but only in cases where I think they may not have a clear picture of what's going on or they're getting way too caught up in some insignificant detail. But that's more because I want to ensure that they have a clear understanding (from their character's perspective) not because I want to move the action along to something exciting. I was playing a game a while back where I was roleplaying my country-bumpkin barbarian at a fair running from stand to stand buying everything he could. Totally meaningless, lots of fun for everyone at the table. [/QUOTE]
