I play DND with a “theatre of the mind” battle system (no map or miniatures, we just remember where we are) with a a dude who’s a 5 and I have no idea how he does it.

I play DnD with a lot of theatre or the mind. I’m a 5 (also 5 with all other mental sensors).
It isn’t to hard, you just remember the description, the detail and context.
If the story is engaging, it is easy.
I’m a big fan of story, some writers rely too much on imagery, great writers story transcends the imagery.
E.g. I can’t stand Tolkien, too much time describing (for me) pointless visual detail. Love Pratchett’s work, the story and subtext are amazing.
