Message: <blockquote data-quote="Immortal Sun" data-source="post: 7563692">This is more or less how I operate.  I make rich backgrounds, detail in characters (at least who players are probably going to encounter), fill in the world the closer the characters come to it, but a couple comments really stuck me after I wrapped up my last campaign (the bad guys won, for context).Basically, multiple players said "Well, there's information I wish we had known!"I tend to be a talker.  When players ask for information, if it's easily knowable information I'm liable to give them a little more than they asked for, if it's a roll, the better they do, the more they'll learn.  So I stopped tried to analyze what I had and hadn't been telling them (I kept some cliffnotes) and compared them to the relevant information they had missed.  At the end of the day I didn't really feel like I had misled them or not given them the info, but there was a LOT of information they had simply not bothered to look into.  I try not to put flashing red signs around everything they ought to pay attention to, but I was still left wondering if perhaps I needed to be less subtle.  Perhaps I need to shut up a little more to get their curiosity piqued.</blockquote>
