[QUOTE="HalfordAskold, post: 5635703, member: 6679930"] Thats a good question. How much should your PCs know? If they grew up in the area that they are exploring then they would know a lot it. Maybe they have heard rumors or have a lower Knowledge: Local skill when they roll for something. I look at it as what would I know as a player if I was from this area? Have they seen an orc before? or do they have an orc patrol sergeant in town, so its no big deal? Do the spellacasters wear black because they are evil or because they like the color and think it makes them look cool? Do they know of the dozen of village children that disappeared 27 years ago, and know with the disappearances happening again, people might draw a similarity? You don't want to give them too much or they might take something as a red herring and run with it, when you were wanting them to go another away. Ask the players what they want to know might be best. [/QUOTE]
