How important is it to that specific scene, session, adventure, or campaign? Taking the OP as an example, the NPC in question isn’t essential to the adventure. The PCs aren’t really required to interact with her in any way. So her secret agenda being revealed or not revealed isn’t likely to impact the overall game all that much, unless either the players or DM decides to run with it in some way. Most likely, the interaction might really consist only of one scene. So overall, not a big deal. If I was asked to ignore the blurted secret for a scene, I can certainly manage. But as an overall approach, it’s not my preference at all. That scene or session would not be nearly as enjoyable for me as one where the DM simply let the player’s knowledge be the character’s, figure out how this was known, and then see what happens. It’s not so much that I’m assuming the worst as it is that general approach to play is not my preference. And the more that approach impacted play...not just a scene but a session....not just a session but an entire adventure or the whole campaign....the less likely I am to enjoy it.</blockquote>
