[QUOTE="Eltab, post: 7401184, member: 6803337"] I've been on the other side of the issue: I own Ye Olde Classic Version of one of the modules in [I]Yawning Portal[/I]. When I figured out that [I]this[/I] adventure might be [I]that[/I] booklet, I went and looked. Then I read the entire module through. (Oops.) Coming in to play the next week, I realized that I was going to have to NOT be my usual boisterous take-charge self. [U]Because[/U] I knew what was coming, where to find secret doors, the answer to the riddles, &c. I compromised: - I started searching every square foot of every surface for traps and secret doors. (Because "this is an Olde School Dungeon and that's how they were designed.") - I let the others go first into new rooms, and ran in to help afterwards. Our group's favorite way to 'check doors for traps' is to kick them in and see if anything happens. - I stayed almost completely silent when we were figuring out riddles. I did encourage the shy-er members to contribute ideas / suggestions / thoughts. It also helped that my (20-year-old) car's wheels fell off* mid-dungeon exploration, so I missed several sessions while I attended to more important business. * Not literally. But almost! [/QUOTE]
