Eh. You can't be expected to establish every bit of out-of-context business in sessions zero. They probably should have told them...

I'll note that I've mentioned in the upcoming Eclipse Phase 2e game that I'm getting ready to run that people can set their own...

I have seen Hundreds of Beavers (2024) movie. Highly recommend it, haven't laughed so hard for awhile.

Not in my experience (or my Players are better at deception than I think). Either answer works.

IMO. In 5e the DM determines whether a PC even gets to make a persuasion check against an NPC and the DC and the results. So as long as...

That, BTW, is the sort of thing I very much do not like and what I do not do when I GM. If the NPC's deception beats the PC's insight...

Any combat system that A) Doesn't have a lot of meaningful decision making and B) Doesn't supply a lot of different outcome results will...
