[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 9512558, member: 6801845"] I'm fairly open about world lore. They know the big picture stuff even if sometimes I occasionally refer to events from a previous campaign from the perspective of someone that was not there. So the demigod that was starting to stir was put back asleep and no one knows how. But people know that you need fire to stop a troll from regenerating and have at least heard a bard's story of great deeds of the past in many cases. So there are a lot things that are open knowledge and some that I don't want players to act upon just because of what a previous character knew. If it's uncertain what the player would know, they roll for it. Most of the time it doesn't make a big difference. If Tuesday is jazz night it's fine if we just assume they saw a flyer, it's not a big secret. If it is something that really matters I'll simply remind them their character doesn't know that. So they likely don't know that Lady Amberlin is really a silver dragon, although they may have heard strange rumors. It's something we discuss offline and I can't remember the last time anyone didn't simply ask "Does my character know ...". [/QUOTE]
