You know what I'm talking about - they're the descriptions that make scenes, settings, and monsters come alive in your games. My question is, what are your favorites of the little descriptions that you've given in the past?


#1. (From a Forgotten Realms game): You come across a panther feasting on the body of a dead Drow Ranger. Lying uselessly at the corpse's side is a pair of scimitars.

that's pretty funny, but how would the players know the half-eaten drow was a ranger? ;)

6: As a group, you leap down into the misty chamber, torches burning bright, grasped tightly in your off-hands so that you are sure not to drop them. You are momentarily greeted with the odd smell of rotten eggs...

Oft used line for starting my D&D sessions:
"When we last left our intrepid (and out for the DM's blood) adventurers..."

DM: "While you are tied to the posts, three beasts are unleashed to attack you. One is large and reddish, and resembles a rhino. The other is a gigantic blue crustacean - like a Chuul or a Retriever. The third looks like a vat with four eyes and a massive, toothy maw."

Player: "Hey, those are from Star Wa-"

DM: "The beasts charge."
