[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 7389318, member: 29398"] Standard in Australia maybe, but we're polite here in Canada. :) That, and from experience both as player and DM I've learned that interrupting the DM in mid-flight is highly likely to cause said DM to then forget to mention something vitally important that she hadn't got to yet. The DM also has a duty to allow opportunities for that back-and-forth during expositional monologues. :) In the example above, the next words from the DM after she says "...you can see fire giant sentries on patrol." really ought to be either "what do you do?" or nothing at all as she stops to give the players a chance to respond to this news.
