Detailed requests can be awkward. I'm long retired. But when I was active with sessions, it could be difficult to tell if someone expected me to follow every detail of their request or, simply take their email as a roadmap. My personal experience was that roadmaps work better than trying to act out, detail by detail, someone's fantasy. Reality rarely matches fantasy.

If you are looking for more intensity, I have to wonder if starting with a 2 hour session wouldn't be better. You sound like an experienced player. How as it gone when you've started with a longer session?
