Short room descriptions are useful, but leave details in the non-boxed text. It should be long enough to give players ideas of what actions they want to take, but short enough to be spoken in only seconds. I personally hate having monsters in the box text, however, since they may not still be there by the time the party arrives. Boxed text for events is a double edged sword. It might be necessary to convey exactly what happens, but it has to be for an event so short that the players can't interrupt. Nothing annoys players more than a cut-scene, where they're just an audience. Describing how the bbeg is pulled down into the abyss by demons is cool... forcing the players to listen to the bbeg monologue is not.</blockquote>
