[QUOTE="Arashi Ravenblade, post: 2923496, member: 15630"] I have some very strong opinions when it comes to remembering things from the game. personally as the DM the majority of the time i have alot to keep track of and alot of things to do, so if the players cant be responsible enough to remember some basic info such as a story detail, character ability or what have you then their out of luck (i dont really care how they keep trakc of the info so long as they do). I mean sure, people have alot of real-life issues to deal with, but as the DM i have alot more to deal with as far as the game goes and have the same real life things as the players and if i can remember my part in the game then the players should too. Another thing that is totally rude and irritating and this is something that has happened to every player i have ever DMed with and every group i have ever played with, someone forgets something a few minutes after the fact and to be honest having to explain the same dang thing fifty times cause some moron wouldnt pay attention or they where too busy messing with their cell phone or game boy to pay attention is really annoying. In the last game i ran i finally said that anyone who was doing something else during the game would not be informed or acknowledged until they had the courtasy to pay attention. And when it comes to filling players in i make the other party members do it, this is to see who was actually paying attention. As a personal note i have played so many games over the years that where delayed for weeks or even months and have had no trouble remembering what happened last time when we pick it up again. Now i have reminded players about things if i know they have a seriously bad memory like one of my friends has seizures that affects his memory , so im not going to be a total jerk about it but if i know there is no resonable reason to not have remembered something then you'know too bad.
