[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 8715505, member: 22779"] That's a very fair way of putting it. But, by the same token, there are a lot of players who cannot be bothered to put any effort into setting lore whatsoever. As in, you hand them a one page overview of the setting and they don't read it. I had a player, when asked what god his character worshipped when he chose to multiclass into cleric honestly ask me what setting we were playing in. This was seven or eight levels into the campaign. :erm: Or the player who plays exactly the same character, regardless of setting. No matter what, it will be exactly the same character, over and over again. Or the player who will go entirely off to do all sorts of backstory that has absolutely nothing tied to the campaign or the setting you're actually playing in and then gets annoyed when you're not referencing their background in the game. On and on and on. Hey, I'll be the first to admit that proper nouns often escape me. I just have the absolute worst memory for proper nouns. So, there's quite a bit of "whatsisname" or "whosits" or "That guy .. y'know, that one we met in the ... town with the ... other guy.... Someone help?" :D Its not that I don't care about the lore, it's just that sometimes it can get a it tricky remembering details. I've gotten better about writing stuff down though now. Not great. It's a work in progress. But, I am trying. . . honest... :erm: [/QUOTE]
