The Ritual of the Gravid Silence

When a player is offered the dice in a Rogues' or Discovery Phase and stares off into the unwritten distance, all else will prove their patience while anticipating the response or revelation, for the pauses and silences are part of the natural ebb and flow of the game.

I was just thinking about how much I enjoy it when a group of players falls into silent, thoughtful contemplation clearing space for the player with the dice to let their imagination roam and hunt down exactly what they want to say. I've witnessed it so many times in #SundayAMSwords  games. Folks get the dice and then look off screen as they think about their answer. And everyone else is so goddamn respectful of it, instead of breaking in with suggestions and whatnot.

I love it. And, of course, the best way to show your love for something is to immortalize it in rules text.
