[QUOTE="jgsugden, post: 6843126, member: 2629"] You have three reasonable paths forward: Do the work for them, demand they do the work, or ask them to not play casters. I've done the work for players. Some people are a lot of fun at the table and I don't mind doing their homework for them if it means we get them to stay. Personal decision. I've told players they need to do their own homework - and seen them sometimes step up, and sometimes not. When they did not step up, I've asked them not to play characters where they need someone else to work for them to provide information they should have. This has not always gone well, but it is the final reasonable choice... ... and then there is the last path which is a touch unreasonable, but sometimes necessary: Kick them out. I've only done this a few times, and both times it was because the player just wanted to hang out and wasn't actually trying to play the game. In both instances, I hooked them up with some other people that were doing things more of their style and then we hung out at other times... [/QUOTE]
