MODERATORS
This is pretty good advice. I've sort of stumbled into it a few times.
Sometimes I'd be like "ok so here's the room. Blah blah blah details. What're you doing?"
Andy will be like "I'm gonna check out that detail"
I'll get like "cool. You all see Andy head over to that detail. Good?" And sort of pause there for a beat to see if anyone wants to interrupt or preempt.
I think the linked article is a generally better method as it's more complete, but I think mine is a little faster. Especially if you have a couple passive players.
