[QUOTE="buddhafrog, post: 5182426, member: 86605"] I know different people use this technique, but I've never got around to using it (call my lazy). However, after reading this post I prepared it for my game last night. The PC's meet a powerful and very important NPC/mentor who they knew was in danger and who might have been killed. When the PC's saw him, they were thrilled he was alive and were glad to have his support b/c they were in a very tough bind themselves.... except for the fact that one of the PC's perceived something that led him to believe that the NPC ally was actually not himself at all - he was an impostor. I slipped him the card with the info. He couldn't directly tell the other PC's b/c the immediate situation was too dangerous to show his hand. This created a great role playing situation that lasted quite a long time. It worked wonderfully. The PC's were 7th grade students; the looks on all ther faces were priceless, "What? What is it?!! What did you see?" Of course I quickly replied "Anything you say is in real time as your character." The PC who had the hidden info loved it as well. He knew the secret the entire scenario and kept looking for ways to either share the info (which I made it very difficult to do with my multiple, urgent NPC's and guards) or find the best time to make a sudden attack - but at great risk to the PC's life.
