[QUOTE="aco175, post: 9429624, member: 27385"] In TV shows they just have a flashback. Suddenly you have a bit of lore introduced when you roll a knowledge check and you tell them about the time you once studied for your wizard finals and went on expedition to the blah, blah and seen these strange runes before. You know they are part of the old language of Mordor. Blah, Blah about Mordor depending on how high you roll. I once gave each player a campaign primer and changed things in each PCs primer so they would know slightly different things since some maps showed a shortcut or villages that might not be on others and ruins and such. The primer was only a page or two if I recall but had a NPC contact or bit of knowledge on something may come up. It was rewarding once they realized that it was something they could use, and then suddenly everyone read it. I think the group went into a tavern when they finally got to the larger town after 4-5 sessions. Suddenly the bartender comes over and hugs one of the PCs and welcomes them. All the players are WTF when the player being hugged pulls out his primer and says, we know this guy. Everyone else is now pulling out their primer and saying they do not know this guy and start to swap info. [/QUOTE]
