Dialogue during narration

[Mike Holmes]

This happens a lot in Universalis, as it happens, probably unsurprisingly. And quite often, you find that players will ask another player to play one of the other characters in a dialog. In fact, I've seen many times where people gimmick in rules to make the control flow between characters more fluid, to enable just such a thing.

Basically, if it's weird, then "donate" some of your power over the situation to another player. Sure, you lose some control that you may have paid for. But if the control is no fun, then why not share?

That said, I don't find it at all odd to talk to myself in narration. That either speaks to my vast experience as a GM, or my burgeoning mental illness; your call.
