[QUOTE="Stormonu, post: 9457577, member: 52734"] I enjoy seeing my players making plans for how to tackle objectives and encounters - so long as it doesn't drag. I've seen paralysis set in with players becoming too afraid to act at all as they bring up and attempt to account for increasingly less likely scenarios. I'd say if the group is waffling beyond 10-15 minutes or going in circles, I'll step in one way or another to push them forward. This may be something where the enemy acts (having noticed the characters nearby planning), a wandering encounter butts in or a gentle reminder of information they have (or may be misremembering) that is meant to spur them to move past (over)planning and to take action. In [I]very[/I] rare cases, just reminding them its a game and they don't have to approach things perfectly will get the party to move forward. One of the infamous phrases in my gaming group that has come to bring player's attention to overplanning is for someone in the group to shout, "Can we please at least get 10 feet down this corridor [B][I]TONIGHT?[/I][/B]" [/QUOTE]
