Infact when I ran my zombie apocalypse game the PCs where pretty shocked when the world got turned on it's ear. Even still, when the you know what hit the fan, the PC thief knew where there were stashes of stuff from his guild days...  and at no point does that mean my characters knowledge can't be used... nore would I expect it to... but you still know things about the world, the kingdom, and the surrounding info. but your contacts and alies could come up when in town... if they didn't then you could have done something to make them if you wanted to...   well there is the disconnect, random isn't what we do... we make characters for stories or campaigns... we never do random. then you get to have fun with the rogue spinning stories well the paliden player has fun trying to catch him... I don't see a problem. wait what? first it doesn't have to revolve around the guild for the guild to matter, and second why would it alienate anyone?yes, and why can't everyones background come into play in doing so? yes, and water is wet... and people argue on the internet...there are lots of different types of adventure. well it is an adventure, but not one anyone brought up, so I guess your all the way in straw man territory... why would I assume I am playing a character who knows a lot about what's going on and what things mean.well because I grew up and gained my class in this world. I am already a PC a step above the average person in the world so yes... I assume a level of competence.  Just because batman doesn't know about the court of owls doesn't mean he doesn't know about lots of contacts and alies and resources he can use to uncover information about the court of owls...My character may not know about the cult, but if it has been operating in the city for 1,000 years it has left a foot print, maybe one no one has ever clued out, but with my information I can... because if not then why bring it up?I would never play a game that way...I assume that the 3-5 PCs each grew up and learned about the world, and that each know different things based on there backgrounds, and both have a level of competence at least equal to the one  I have for the real world...<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f615.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:"  data-smilie="5"data-shortname=":confused:" /><img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/erm.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":erm:" title="Erm    :erm:" data-shortname=":erm:" /><img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/worried.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":-S" title="Uhm    :-S" data-shortname=":-S" />great so no REAL scottsman... you know this is yet another level of BS insulting and dismissiveness as you tell me my 20ish years of RPG is 'doing it wrong'no player who ever sat at my table ever saw anything like an improve theatre... and the 2 players I had that wanted that were disappointed. So no... I may be a bit off center but I'm still in the RPG spectrum and my games are VERY TRASITIONAL... maybe you need to revaluate your games if you think mine are deviant.I stopped responding here though, because I am now very upset... I am sick and tired of people doing this...instead of talking about our games you decided that mine is 'Far more on the side of improv theatre than traditional RPGs' instead of saying "hey here is what we do differently"</blockquote>
