[QUOTE="Paul Farquhar, post: 9286866, member: 6906155"] As you say “hopefully”. You can give the players all the clues you like, but you cannot guarantee that they will interpret them as intended and follow them. Or maybe JA is failing to take into account the possibility that the players may misinterpret the clues? I don’t know, it’s a mystery. That occurred in a previous adventure, this is just a story in an ongoing campaign. You should remember that I don’t use JAs approach, I use my approach, developed from many years of experience. It is similar to the approach suggested by JA, but as you would expect, not completely identical. In particular, I am more comfortable with leaving some things uncertain - perhaps because I am not writing adventures for other people to run. Someone other than me would have a hard time running my adventures, based on what I put on paper! [/QUOTE]
