[QUOTE="MGibster, post: 8168188, member: 4534"] There should also be a special category for player characters who refuse to share information with other people in their party. Cyberpunk 2020: It's been nearly ten years since I ran this campaign, but I had the Corporate PC receive a very important email with plot information that was relevant to every single person in the group. It was the whole reason why a solo, fixer, netrunner, etc., etc. were teamed up and trying to accomplish something. But. He. Refused. To. Share. And the game ground to a halt. Legend of the Five Rings: I wrote this elaborate letter from a courtier who was fawning over and complimenting his daimyo's new advisor. The letter was written in such as way as to appear complimentary on the surface but it was quite clear that this new advisor was a practitioner of blood magic which is highly forbidden. The PC completely understood the letter was both a warning and a plea for help but he just tucked it away without sharing this information with the rest of the party who later blundered into a maho user. As the GM for both games, I've got to accept blame for my part. I really should have said something like, "Do you mean to keep that from the rest of the group?" And explain that we can't really move forward unless you do something with that information. [/QUOTE]
