Context: I play in a pirate campaign, our DM is fairly new to DMing. Party gets information about a ship carrying Mcguffin we need. Players then spend 1.5 hours discussing how we should steal Mcguffin from a pirate ship. Once we form a plan that looks the least suicidal, we begin making it the reality. We then get swallowed by a sea monster, obviously the DM intented for us to not spend so much time thinking about it.
We all agreed that it would’ve been a bit stupid and immersion-breaking to not spend at least some time thinking about it, but it still feels weird to make so big of an effort planning for something for it to just be in vain.
If you were the DM in this position, what would you do? Do you hint the party that desinging a complex plan in unneccesary? Do you roll with it and consider planning time to be cool roleplay moment?
And what do you think about the situation as a whole? If this happend at your table, how would you react?
