>From the newest Rules of the Game (Actions - 2):

"You cannot use a free action during another creature's turn. For
example, speaking is a free action, but if you know where an invisible
creature lurks, you can't tell a colleague where the creature is the
moment your colleague acts. (You could ready such an action, however;
see Part Four.)"

This clearly contradicts the special rule for speaking. I'm actually
kind of partial to this ruling, but I'm curious what everyone else
thinks.

You tell your buddy where the invisible person is when you find out
where the creature is on your own turn.

I prefer "you can speak on anyone's turn, if it's short". The game
sometimes feels a bit too strictly structured as it is, I don't think
having people speak in turns would improved it.

Normally you can't have obtained any information to convey if it's not
your turn.

How do you figure? _Most_ Spot/Listen checks are not made on your own
turn.

Interesting. Well, I've been a fan of speaking only on your turn -- makes
for good drama and fretting players. It does have its downsides, sure ...
but we've been doing this all along (since 2000) and loving it!
