I generally hand out short setting guides if we're in a homebrewed environment. Just bullet points of the important differences from what the players usually see. Different levels of punishment and respect based on one's rank in society would almost certainly be on such a list.Was that one a homebrewed adventure? 'Cause it's kind of hard for the GM to 'interpret wrong' something that she wrote herself. In fact it's pretty much impossible. I've had that happen to me as a writer, people explaining that I don't understand the subtext behind my own story, and they do. It's frustrating, moronic, and always wrong.And considering you picked up on clues that the GM admitted were there in a situation that she couldn't possibly have interpreted wrong based on information that was provided to all of you... Yeah, forget XP penalties, if this happened to me I'd be giving the player in your situation an XP bonus and the others slaps on the wrist because only one person even cared enough to pay close attention/remember things.</blockquote>
