[QUOTE="Romnipotent, post: 1842495, member: 23770"] two words: Session Silence This will freak him out to no end. Advise the other players to avoid answering anything mechanical rather than getting angry or such. My players are wargamers really, thats how I was brought up on D&D as well, but its a slow and steady process to get them into the more novelesque play. I'm trying my darndest and its working well enough with some of the folk. I for one prefer the players to go off on wild tangents of thought, let them go batpoop insane with ideas about some secretive and calculated neutral contact. I'm getting all sorts of offline messages from one player, and the best thing is that he's going batty, and come session he will pressure me for answers, which I cant give him :D This player is also a bit crunch ridden, Capt Crunch level. Well he wants to know if somethings available, and in full essence it is. But he needs to first perfect his roleplaying, and learn of a secret, which he's on the way to, he just needs be more receptive to what I say and investigate it. Of course this is just one example. Techplayers/mechplayers/crunchmunchers simply want to expend the least resources for the best effect. As I have restricted the element of magic to a hairpin of a garden rake theres not so much magic-meta-gaming, but if and when they uncover the lost arts then I will be imposing a stringent "no knowledge no talky" basis. I might go so far as to dock XP for people, and I dont give out XP! (They level when I feel they have achieved and progressed enough, some go further than others, some dont move much at all) Well... Quick reply box, take that! Romers [/QUOTE]
