[QUOTE="The Edge, post: 2644793, member: 33507"] I like to detail my worlds, so far in my current campaign it’s just the local areas history, I haven’t gone into much global or over all detail. If you like to detail your world and fill in history and such and would like to show the players, I say the best way is to let/make them discover it in game. Make it important to what their doing. I had a very funny moment where a player (his character a new comer to the region) while trying to explore a keep with out invite, tried to claim he was a minor baron as part of a bluff + disguise check. What he hadn’t yet discovered is that the monarchy in this country was deposed roughly 250 years back (a bit like in France). It had seemed to work, he was taken to see the captain of the guard who would ‘great him and make sure he got accommodation fitting for a baron’. Which just happened to be the stocks. :] That’s a bit of history he’ll remember next time. :) [/QUOTE]
