[QUOTE="HeapThaumaturgist, post: 2401274, member: 12332"] Heh. I was just thinking about a Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil game I ran a year or so ago. One of the players decided to play in ANOTHER RttToEE game at the same time, one that had started earlier, so he largely knew what was going on (until the two games firmly departed tracks). He was, personality-wise, almost totally incapable of keeping OOC information out of his thinking ... so I wrote it into the storyline. He got slammed by the vision-inducing-symbol in the moathouse and from there on out if he "accidentally" used OOC information I would boom out that the hand of Tharizdun itself was guiding him, and that the touch of that Unknowable drained him of 1 permanent Con point. He got real real good at dividing up the Character and OOC stuff after that. But we kept up the story-line methodology and occassionally after that I would feed his PC a little extra data for story purposes and hit him up with Fatigue or something. Everybody had alot of fun, he learned a valuable lesson/skill, and I was able to nix some cheating without hurting anybody's feelings. --fje [/QUOTE]
