[QUOTE="Mallus, post: 4785884, member: 3887"] Some do. Occasionally. Depends. For my current character, the answer's 'yes'. I had a blast making up the details of his race (I co-created the setting). Why not? While my current PC fears nothing, has a borderline obsession with fireworks. Also, he loved Pernod. And writes highly-eroticized labor propaganda. One PC in our group is in love with his sister who was kidnapped by air-pirates. Another is a Marxist dwarf who hate the bourgeoisie. Not to my group. Some people enjoy the game with the kinds of embellishments I've described, some couldn't care less. But either way, it's all still role-playing. Yes on one and no on two. Yes, the difference between player and character knowledge is important to some of our players, because to them, part of the fun comes from the added challenge of problem-solving through the fictional persona they've created. Other players just care about overcoming the challenge. And we'd never laugh at a player for the way they enjoy the game. Unless they came to a session in costume, or bored us with too much exposition about their character's daddy-issues and chestnut hair... [/QUOTE]
