Awesome. This is something missing in the world of discourse generally. Breaking vague terms down to "what do you really mean by that?".

Their previous DM was notorious for just running fights, no real story, no character advancement - just told go here, kill thing, get reward, rinse, repeat. It took me some time to realise it and I initially thought it was my fault but after starting a second campaign with a group of first timers I began to take a different look. Now I take pains to give them clear, concise choices and always say “yes, and…” to try and get them to expand their own ideas.
