[QUOTE="pemerton, post: 7890180, member: 42582"] A coda: when my players really don't trust me to not metagame as GM they will plan via email (between session) or very occasionally I seem to recall having been asked to leave the table. This was mostly an issue when our main game was 4e, as 4e combat resolution is highly sensitive to clever sequences of action declaration and player-side resource use. Burning Wheel uses blind declaration for some of its conflict resolution systems, and I have had players seek advice from one another over what they should declare in low voices so that I can't overhear. It doesn't really come up in Traveller, Prince Valiant or MHRP/Cortex+ Heroic - the systems we've been playing most recently - because these don't tend to involve the sort of complex sequences and interactions that are part of 4e and BW. But if the players wanted to plot in secret that would be fine with me, though of course fully public plotting is more fun! [/QUOTE]
