- 9\$\begingroup\$ +1 for 'Your character doesn't know that yet', but I find the second half more useful: 'How do you plan to find out?' The player shuts up or goes thoughtful; either way, good for you and good for the group. \$\endgroup\$Tim Lymington– Tim Lymington2012-06-26 22:17:12 +00:00Commented Jun 26, 2012 at 22:17
- \$\begingroup\$ Thanks, that does make a good addition, I'll have to use that next time it comes up. \$\endgroup\$TimothyAWiseman– TimothyAWiseman2012-06-27 16:15:53 +00:00Commented Jun 27, 2012 at 16:15
- 3\$\begingroup\$ I think I followed more this approach. In general I usually opted for characters coming out from little villages / isolated places or from places far far away (kinda: "you start your first adventure by stepping out of the immigrants boat that took you to this continent, that is all new for you and you know only that you want to make a fortune quick in it"), so that they know very very little of the places where they play. This way you don't spoil their pleasure for exploring and discovering the world. \$\endgroup\$Yaztromo– Yaztromo2012-06-27 19:44:08 +00:00Commented Jun 27, 2012 at 19:44

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- Make sure you include the system tag for the game system you are asking about (if appropriate and if the tag exists).
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. dnd-5e-2014), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
