[QUOTE="Emerikol, post: 6810221, member: 6698278"] [b]I hate metagaming[/b] I hate metagaming but that doesn't mean I condemn people who like it. It's not a personal character issue. I think that everyone needs to find groups that cater to their own interests. For me it's all about the world and immersion in that world and acting in character. I don't like the player intruding. That is why I dislike many modern rulesets. They are too player focused instead of taking things from the character perspective. Metagaming is making decisions for your character that your character could not or would not make. Obviously this is often subjective and where it's fairly unclear I can live with it. It doesn't hurt immersion when it is unclear. Often though it's obvious and when it is it ruins the fun of people like me. I think it is valid for a player to ask the DM on behalf of his character..."have I seen that sort of creature before?"...and if so the DM should give him the info he needs. So let me reiterate. I'm not saying DO NOT METAGAME. I am saying DO NOT METAGAME WITH ME and be courteous enough to let your intentions be well know before joining a game. I will absolutely do the same with my own preferences. [/QUOTE]
