[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 8827972, member: 23751"] And you can avoid that 100% of the time. If you do it, you've chosen to do it, not because you had to do it. It's not still metagaming and here's why. Because if you the player had no knowledge of where the treasure is, you'd have picked left or right on a whim. Randomly, just like the coin flip. So the coin flip is just the same and not metagaming. If you have anything more than a whim to go on in character, then you make your decision based on that and metagame knowledge doesn't come in that way, either. I've been in that situation as a player and I told the DM that if he didn't want to run something else, I would step out of the game until the module was done. Not because of metagaming, but because as a player I don't enjoy going through the same stuff twice. As a DM, I ask the players if they've gone through it, read it or DM'd it before. If any of them say yes, I don't run it. [/QUOTE]
