this is my pmd2 team’s exact dynamic tbh

as a player you should really internalize the intent/task sentence structure. “i wanna open this door by prying it open with a crowbar,” “i wanna set fire to the hay bale with my firebolt,” “i wanna haggle this price by commenting on some minor scratches.”

very often i see players only stating one of these. either “i wanna open the door” or “i cast firebolt on the hay bale.”

what the intent/task structure does is properly communicate to your GM what a success/failure state looks like, and what kind of challenge they propose. sometimes players have a very specific outcome in mind, but when they just state the task, even a successful attempt will be disappointing because the GM does not know what you want to achieve. and vice versa, just stating your intent puts weight on the GM to not only come up with the consequences to the actions, but what even causes them to begin with.

This is very good advice, especially for the point of the GM needing to know what a success looks like for you, the player.

I won’t say this is always the case, but I think in many cases, wanting to just say the action without providing context for the desired result comes from the mentality of viewing the GM as an adversary.

I know it was for me, at one time.

I would want to do something cool, something that combined certain abilities and situations in a certain way, and was worried the GM wouldn’t want me to do it and would just block it even though it was perfectly viable. So I would frustratingly try to piece together a series of actions that seemed incomprehensible to them.

It was frustrating for all involved.

And it was a bad faith thing to do. Because again, the GM isn’t your enemy. And if you feel like they are at the table, or if the GM does go out of their way to block you from doing cool things and antagonizes you, then that’s a different discussion that needs to be had. NOT something to structure your play around.

BUT even if it’s all being done in good faith, it’s still a good practice to explain your intent to the GM. Something a lot of us forget is that we don’t all draw the same connections, we don’t picture things the same way. Something that might seem obvious to you may not be obvious to the GM.

Anyway, sorry for a long addition, but this is something I’ve specifically been trying to be better at doing and I think is very good advice for a number of reasons.
