Some Brief Thoughts On… Read Aloud Text

This video takes a quick look at read aloud text, that part of an adventure that is intended to be read aloud to players.

Should read aloud text be read aloud? Well, perhaps not, even though that’s what it’s there for. Or, rather, it shouldn’t be read aloud as written.

Instead, it makes sense to ensure that the text describes what it should, without going into needless initial detail, that it isn’t a wall of text to read and that it is written in a way that you’re comfortable reading.
