I was just talking to an author about this!
So important to remember the audience is *thinking* as they engage with your work, not just absorbing info. Perfecting that Q&A exchange is what encourages people to keep reading 😊
Part of an editor's job is to ask the questions your readers would—before they get the chance to.

It's a funny connection that just like with novel authors, sometimes the RPG author/their circle of playtesters might not know what is confusing for new readers until they work with an editor.

Came across this while editing today and thought of this tweet! 📝😊
When a line of dialogue is interrupted by an action, use em dashes around the action (outside the quotation marks).
