Often, when I've found myself more selective of read-aloud text, I simply rewrite them since I'm already repurposing other sections like stat blocks, replacing checks from one game system with the equivalent from another and so on.People tend to only retain a finite number of details when listening, so if read aloud blocks are a part of your presentation at the table, shorter, while not becoming vague, I've found is a pleasant spot. If you like to embellish or improv in-the-moment, the key writing in the module/your notes needs to be muscular enough for you to do that.There's a number of different avenues to get to above, and suggestions on what kinds of details to include and what to cut in keys, but that could be addressed as a different topic, and would include a range of valid preferences in style and format that table runners like.Sometimes campaigns can benefit from a slightly longer introduction, or in the case of a set piece, it can heighten a dramatic moment. You might have a slightly longer passage for an NPC monologue as an example.</blockquote>
