We've been bouncing some ideas  off of each other for a week or so and things are just getting to the point where we can think about making a concrete map and naming some cities, etc.An idea came up for some powerful item-creating artifacts that existed in the world which the characters might be able to use eventually. My idea was to have them find them in the course of their adventures and finally figure out how to use them. I had worked up a few concepts on exactly how the items might work and emailed a few docs to the other 2 "co-DMs." So far no problem.Then one of them replied and sent the message to the entire group INCLUDING THE PLAYERS! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":eek:" /> I saw the reply early this AM and sent a message to everyone asking them PLEASE not to open the reply and just delete it, but I'm worried they might not realize what they're looking at right away. The original information wasn't included in the reply (thank gawdz!) but the co-DM's feedback is fairly leading. Here's the rub; his wife JUST had their 2nd baby yesterday and he had replied only a few hours after getting back from being with her at hospital (he had to come home to stay with kid #1). He was obviously just not thinking too clearly so I don't want to explode or anything. That being said, ARRRRRGGH!!!! I SPENT ALL DAY ON DESIGNING THAT STUFF AND NOW THE PLAYERS JUST GOT EMAILED A "HINT-BOOK"!! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f621.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":mad:" title="Mad    :mad:"  data-smilie="4"data-shortname=":mad:" /> <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f621.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":mad:" title="Mad    :mad:"  data-smilie="4"data-shortname=":mad:" /> <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f621.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":mad:" title="Mad    :mad:"  data-smilie="4"data-shortname=":mad:" /> phew!
