[QUOTE="FitzTheRuke, post: 9335854, member: 59816"] Certainly if a player were to try to book passage on a ship, using their background or not, I'd say a few lines about the ship, its crew, the docks, and the basics of the discussion. I may or may not speak in first (though probably third) person, I may or may not give the captain (or whoever) or the ship a name (I probably would, though I might not remember it later if no one writes it down) but I absolutely would give the whole thing some sort of story. Exactly how much would depend on the Player asking, the table's mood, and whether we need to push on or have time for some fluff. What I [I]wouldn't[/I] be doing, whether I asked for a check or not, is [USER=22779]@Hussar[/USER]'s idea of "screwing the player" nor would I feel like it's a "waste of time". Nor would I hope that any of the players would feel that way. The ship and the NPCs involved absolutely might wind up important later on. Who knows? [/QUOTE]
