And I definitely don't sweat it if players who have been playing for 30 years don't get themselves killed by acting like they don't know that a monster in the game needs to be killed with fire.  We are playing a game and I hope to challenge the player more than the character sheet.  However one is having fun is the right way to play in any event.</blockquote>
