Really enjoying reading this, but like... How long does it take you to write each response? It takes me over an hour to hit 300 words, including my drafting, proofreading, cross-referencing, revising...

When I am a player sometimes this is exactly what you need to do, but sometimes quick snappy small paragraphs is all you need. Sometimes you want to get more introspective and give others more material to digest.

I expect at minimum other players to grasp the dialogue and principal actions done in a post whether I am player or GM.
