[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 8725929, member: 67338"] I'm not sure what kind of thought crim metagame thinking is... but I like to when ever possible keep metagaming actions out of play (as a player and a DM). If a player that was going to buy a drink at the bar saw a DM open the raven loft book to the vampire stats and then said out loud to the table "Oh the DM is prepping ravenloft vampires, so instead I want to go make steaks" I would expect all the rest of the table (DM or Player) would point out "Come on we didn't see that in game don't bring it into game" now is there a thersitical work around were the player WANTS to cheat the system, sees the DM open the book to vampires, and says "I go to make steaks from the trees" and when another character asks why says "Oh my character is super paranoid... my parents died to a vampire...I see them everywhere" and gets away with it. Sure... but over time and alot of VERY odd changes to declarations we would most likely talk to that player before a game session started about the pattern and how we feel about it... [/QUOTE]
