[QUOTE="iserith, post: 8266403, member: 97077"] I try not to worry about theoretical offenses and focus on what is actually going on at the table and what I can personally control. I can control whether I ask the players if anyone has read or played the module I want to run before we play. I can control whether we have a conversation about what the expected etiquette is for those who have foreknowledge and ask for their buy-in. I can control what I change in the module and how I communicate that I am changing things to the players to incentivize them to not rely on potentially bad assumptions based on foreknowledge. I can control the spotlight at the table so that I'm calling on the players to make decisions more or less equitably so that the players with foreknowledge can't dominate the decision-making. I can't control another person's willingness to lie about their knowledge of the module or whether they will keep to the agreed upon etiquette. In the case of the former, I might not ever even know about it. Worrying about it is a waste of time in my view. [/QUOTE]
