What I am interested in is how these various ways of doing things affect our players, and the extent to which any of us even consider that when we're designing adventures and campaigns. So how does your way if running factions impact your players? What knobs and dials do they have to access information and act on it? That sort of thing.I notice you talk about players starting off as nobodies. That does allow for some organic growth in player setting knowledge. What would you do differently if the starting characters were supposed to be knowledgable about the setting and its factions, but this was not reflected by matching player knowledge?</blockquote>
