[QUOTE="JiffyPopTart, post: 7836834, member: 4881"] Charlaquin/DM Dave1: I 100% understand what Charlaquin is saying and I see what you are trying to achieve. In my mind, as Lanefan says, [I][B]"From where I'm standing I look at the desk to see what it's made of" is just a long way of saying "What's the desk made of?".[/B][/I] Thus my defining your style as formal and alien to me. I literally have never played at a table (and I have been gaming since before the events of Stranger Things took place) that expressed a preference for the former over the latter. I'd be interested in hearing what a game session done in this style sounded like if you have any preferred examples. I have heard of (but don't employ) the "Speak only in character" style, the "One player is the caller" style, and even the "Videogamish everything in 3rd person" style but never the "Players interact almost exclusively in stated actions" style. At the end of the day I believe that each table has its own feel and one style is as valid and fun as the next if everyone is having fun. I'm just baffled I have never heard of it before. [/QUOTE]
