(This does again raise the point that one difference between the two camps is probably in how we view "truth" in the game world.  The anti-metagamers in general seem to have a p.o.v. where there is some kind of objective truth to the world that the characters are then experiencing, whereas the other camp seem to have an approach where nothing really exists until it is experienced. An example is how Max allows or even encourages extensive world-building up to the point the campaign starts, and then it is fixed.)What I find absurd is the expectation that you can run a game in a well-documented world while expecting that nobody will know anything about that world.   Again, problem of their own making.I'm not saying they shouldn't be allowed to, just that it runs into problems, for which anti-metagaming seems to be the solution, but that in turn creates other problems.</blockquote>
