Sometimes, it is fine to say “I hit the dragon for 12 damage” and quickly move the game along without describing the blow.
For me, that’s most of the time. You may differ.

I lean more into “Dungeons & Dragons is a game” than “Dungeons & Dragons is an improvisational role-playing environment”. This isn’t to say I don’t include roleplaying and acting, but it will tend to be less important than in some other people’s campaigns, Especially in combat, I want to keep things moving so everyone gets a chance to act.
