Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lanefan" data-source="post: 7505928" data-attributes="member: 29398">10-20 hours a.k.a 3-5 typical sessions.  A trivial amount of time when held up against the many years the campaign is intended to last...One or two might try to break things, but that's not the biggest concern - I've got a smackdown hammer to take care of that sort of thing, if needed. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />  The more common thing I hear from them - and, when I'm a player, will say myself - is that they'd/I'd rather not have to worry at all about sorting out what is player knowledge from what is character knowledge when at all possible.  In other words, don't tell us as players anything our characters wouldn't know; and this includes dropping hints like only rolling in this situation as opposed to the other ten seemingly-identical situations preceding and following it.It also includes doing things like taking the forward scout's player aside and playing her away misson solo such that us other players don't know what's become of her until and unless either she comes back to report (and thus reports in her own words, allowing her to forget details and-or intentionally change or embellish things) or we get concerned and send out a search party.Which is much easier if player knowledge and character knowledge are kept as close to the same as possible.Lan-"the goal might be to refrain from metagaming but if the opportunity isn't provided the temptation isn't there"-efan</blockquote>
