I've probably had 2 dozen players in my Planescape game in the past 7 years. Planescape has about 5 fairly short Player's Guide books that are actually interesting to read. You could finish a book in about 30 minutes. I provide pdfs of these books to every single new player that joins the group. Out of about 24 players, 24 of them never read a single one of those books. I even have the original copies in the game room, but nobody has ever asked to borrow one. I bet if they had neato power options for their PCs they'd read them <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/ponder.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":hmm:" title="Hmmm    :hmm:" data-shortname=":hmm:" />I've never seen a player study up on a campaign outside of a game. One of these players once yelled at me during a game and said this:Her: "You keep saying my PC does or doesn't know this or that about this plane. How am I supposed to know what she knows if you've never told me!?!"Me: "I gave you the player guides to read. Everything your character would know would be in those guides."Her: "So now you're telling me to do ******* homework!!!"Me: "I gave you the books so you can learn things on your own time. I told you all the basics about the campaign that I could think to tell you. If you want details, you have to read the books, learn it in-game, or ask me questions outside of the game. The books are optional, if you choose not to read them, that is perfectly fine. But you can't blame me because you have a lack of knowledge about the campaign."</blockquote>
