[QUOTE="Mort, post: 9512540, member: 762"] So here's a question, that's related, but hopefully a new direction. Your world is very well established. And from what you've said, many of the players have had prior campaigns in the same world. What's your stance on players using prior character knowledge? As in, the player, being fully experienced in your world will know many things they otherwise might not. Can they carry that over to a new character? Is it a strict no? It would require a knowledge check? Something else? And what's the view of using that knowledge in game? Since the facts are established, the player isn't narrating any new fiction, they are confirming established fiction.
