[QUOTE="Stalker0, post: 2924983, member: 5889"] I'll throw in on the requiring players to know info idea. I think its a matter of balance. First of all, players in general should always cut dms a break. Players do 5% of the work that a dm does in making a session happen, we dms have a 1000 things more to think about and remember. And yes, we even have other lives and jobs and all of that stuff the players do too:) So I have no problems with dms requiring their players to remember some facts. I know your here to have fun, but hey so am I, is it so hard to ask you to write down some of the things I told you, when it may have taken my hours to come up with the stuff in the 1st place? But on the other hand, dms shouldn't penalize players for forgetting things unless they obviously make no effort to remember them. There's a big difference between hearing a guy say something in a nice comfy room, then hearing something in a spooky dungeon where the slightest mistake might kill you. But I think that's the key for me, effort. If the players make an effort, do try to write things down, then I have no problems helping them remember. But its very unfair for players to expect a dm to recall everything anytime they want because they are too lazy to write the stuff down. [/QUOTE]
