[QUOTE="Lazybones, post: 258486, member: 143"] If you can stifle the urge to let out metagame knowledge, the game can be enhanced. I'm a player in a "bad guys" campaign (we're all humaniods), and I have a lot more knowledge of the game than some of the other players. I was a goblin rogue traveling in the company of two hulking bugbear fighters (both rel. new players) the other night, and the DM rolled up a random encounter for us. We ended up spotting a pair of cows in an adjacent field. The bugbears, feeling hungry, decided to kill one of them for food. As we neared, the DM reported that they looked strange--greenish in color, and apparently armored. The newest player wasn't fazed; he decided to lasso this "strange cow." A little later, we had to leave the statue of the bugbear in the field behind us, but it was a great combat and he very nearly managed to wrestle that gorgon into submission (when the lasso didn't work, he tried to grab it around the neck and drag it down). I played my metagame knowledge subtly, warning about how, "Guys, this doesn't look right..." and so on. [/QUOTE]
