[QUOTE="kenada, post: 9121930, member: 70468"] I’m looking at it from what the players can do. Can they investigate further to determine what kind of dangers may be out there? That’s how they become more informed. If they’re stuck with the initial information they get, having some hints is better than none, but it’s still a reduced decision space compared to one where you can work to obtain more information. I favor being pretty transparent about the resolution process. My homebrew system has things you can do to obtain information, which becomes something you can rely on knowing once it is established (e.g.,[URL='https://www.enworld.org/threads/commentary-thread-for-that-“describe-your-game-in-five-words”-thread.682741/post-8999754'] establishing patterns of stirge behavior a couple of sessions ago[/URL]). However, if the players really wanted to know what’s on the tables I use, I’d probably just show or tell them depending on the area. Areas designated as civilized or frontier would have some common knowledge about what’s out there. It’s only once you away from those areas into wilderness hexes that you’ll probably have to go there yourself to find out (but the system supports finding out if you’re willing to spend the time conducting a survey).
