I have a player that goes up to every bard and asks “what’s your college?” and that just gets on my nerves. He usual gets a snarky response like “School of Hard Knocks” or something like that. It’s part of a pattern of weird questions to NPCs from him, and all of them are slowly driving me mad. Like, who asks a random butler apropos of nothing "how long have you worked here?"Those sorts of game-term questions bug me. It's like going up to a stranger and asking them what they're highest level of education is?I’m fine with people not knowing their history of D&D, though. The game has come a long ways since those early days, and heck, Appendix N (as much as I love many of the works within), was a long time ago and fantasy has grown and changed vastly in the decades that followed. I’m not going to judge someone for not knowing that Ioun stones were originally IOUN stones in Jack Vance’s writings. It's not like I knew that sort of thing when I first started playing, either.</blockquote>
