Now that you've refreshed yourself with the previous Workshops, you'll see that we placed a lot of attention on descriptions - the first two Workshops, in fact! There's a good reason for that. Unlike the universe that we base our writing off of, we don't have the benefit of the visual medium that the television series and movies allow. We can tell in an instant that we are meeting an exotic new species because they look so distinctive and dress so differently. We need to find a way to distill that momentary glance of clarity into our short-story collaborative roleplay style, and that's where descriptions serve us so well. | Now that you've refreshed yourself with the previous Workshops, you'll see that we placed a lot of attention on descriptions - the first two Workshops, in fact!
