    Well. I am not, nor did I claim, to be running GoT. I did say "like GoT" as opposed to "like LotR/Hobbit" or "like Harry Potter" so players would have an idea of what kinds of stories, plot lines, scenes, and characters, might be included. To then jump to the conclusion that some tiny element of...

    Burning Wheel Expectations ...?

    I think the -wises way is perhaps one of the best ways for players to add to the lore of the world without breaking immersion. Ever since I first discovered Mouse Guard I have used the -wises way with respect to knowledge (and related) skills as presented in other systems.

    Burning Wheel Expectations ...?

    Definitely Version A! I much prefer the character explain the thing that they know to the meta where the player requests the addition. It can make for a fun scene especially if the player gets into telling a tale about said knowledge.

    I'm not going to read the books because I don't like Martin's writing style, same reason why I'm not going to read Tolkien. Sorry that some players think they should always get to play whatever character they want no matter what, I clearly disagree with that position. Lucky for me there are no...

    Burning Wheel Expectations ...?

    Hmmm... I've always allowed players to narrate a successful -wises check. This allows the player to decide how they would like the character's knowledge to be used as well as allowing the player to choose to add their own elements to the setting lore. A failed -wises check leaves the revelation...

    D&D General The DM is Not a Player; and Hot Topic is Not Punk Rock

    DMs and Players have different responsibilities. As others have said, the rules state this, so how could it be otherwise. As for the muddying of the waters that many like to do to highlight their own personal opinions on things like, who is responsible for world building, or who has...
