[QUOTE="Nellisir, post: 5839627, member: 70"] Yes to all your questions. I'm pretty liberal about dispensing information. The players are trying to simulate 20 or 30 or 300 years of accumulated character knowledge based on a few hours of actual information; it seems fair. I don't recall telling anything heavily plot related, but they get lots of ancillary details during out-of-game chats; stuff their characters would have picked up during the course of their lives. I like to keep the story advancing and the action happening, so not a lot of time is spent unwrapping trivial information. I don't need to play through 3 days of casting [I]identify[/I] spells or contacting sages, if it is not a significant plot element, and if the means of finding information is available to the PCs, I assume they use it. And if I create a clever monster or trap or somesuch, I always tell them about it. Afterwards. :) [/QUOTE]
