[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 6101322, member: 177"] If the GM notices that the players are, in general, not engaged, it would probably behoove him or her to consider moving things along, sure. But, reasons for pushing it also exist. Maybe there are some players who *are* engaged, for example. Or maybe the GM has reason to think that the scene will come to be engaging if folks stick to it. Or maybe just soldiering through for a little while is less disruptive to the session overall than skipping the scene. Or maybe there's some other contextual reason why the thing cannot just be tossed out the window. There's a whole lot of possibilities. It is contingent on the players to inform the GM that they're kinda bored. The GM is not a telepath, and cannot read the minds of players. See above for "no reason". There's any number of reasons that are not even linked to the highfalutin' notion of playstyle, but are instead practical issues of making play work. [/QUOTE]
