[QUOTE="Elf Witch, post: 4168276, member: 9037"] I DM every other Saturday and I have been dying to play. So my roommate decided to run a game on the other Saturday. She wanted to run an established setting because she does not feel she has the time to build and maintain a home brew. She picked Kalamar because it is my favorite setting and hers as well and we played in it for three years amd she knows it inside and out. It also has some excellent modules that we never played in to help her with some of the work. Two of the players from my game were invited the third already plays in an Age of Worms game on that Saturday. They both said yes they wanted to play and we started making characters. I was really exicited I have not played in such a long time. Suddenly it came to a screeching halt. One of the players did not want to play Kalamar because she and the other player didn't know the setting and I did and that would give me an unfair advantage. I don't understand this yes I know the setting but I don't know the modules and the game my roommate is going to run is new not based on the old game we played with a different group of people and DM. This of course lead to a lot of issues we could not play Eberron because I know that setting. We have other setting books but my roommate does not know them and really does not want to run something new because as I said before lack of time. My question is would it be an issue for you to play in a setting where one player knew the setting and the others did not? [/QUOTE]
