That's a good thing to do, in a lot of RPGs -- I used to do it sometimes even in D&D, Top Secret, and Traveller games. You have to be careful not to get too heavy-handed with it, though, or it turns into one of those things that make players feel they are being led around by the nose.

Excuse me -- Sam needs some Phazyme...
