IKWG and metagaming

[Zexsudel]

Ok I dont think I have to really tell you guys again that I do not tolerate metagaming. I know what your character's know. Heck most of it I fed to them. I also know what your character don not know.
Now all of us (save poor Talbot, but we love him anyways) has a copy of the IKWG. Throughout the book callout exist that the book clearly stated are not intended for players to read. Now realistical I can not stop you from doing this, all I can say is if you do I will know.

Because of this wealth of new information I will be watching for metagaming closer, and in a way punishing it even more. How do I mean punishing it? Simiply by making life tougher on your characters. Is this fair? Nope. I am open to other suggustion as to a way to discourage metagaming. However this is something that I want to address. Example, the party the other night split into two parts, both who ended up in the sewer and there was talk of how to do things to met up with the others. This would never cross her mind since your characters know nothing of what happened to the other half of the group. Bare this in mind.

And as a final aside, I will let you know when the IKWG is green light-ed. Meaning until I say so the information presented in it is still "off bounds" to in game play. Now I have this week off from school so I shouldn't be off bounds for too long. If there is something you NEED [/b][/u] to have then talk to me about it. Otherwise as always the answer is "no"

I look foward to where things are heading game wise too. It looks like the action is going to get kicked up a few pegs and life will be a hell a lot more exciting than it has been. I am beinging work on the second story arc, so lets get this baby born and put on the shelf.

by more exciting i cant help but feel you mean i will be takeing mre damage lol

p.s. i hate that i did not wear my new armor but then again maybe its a good thing we will see.

[Zexsudel]

anyways..what are you're ideas on metagaming conflicts?

And yeah damage is what you are about. taking it and dealing it.

[SilentGunner]

hell yes.

[Orthosofthecold]

if your character metagames pick a random STD from the book of VD that your character will be afflicted with. Doesnt really hinder you all that much but makes your characters life more difficult.

OMG for the love of god and all that is holy is [glow=red,2,300]burns[/glow] when I piss

Speaking of burning, that could be a resolution. Just cross reference the chart for treason to wherever we are, and apply the appropriate punishment. Or just have random zealots pop out of no where and douse the character in menoth's fury. Being a vehement anti-metagamer, I'm all for cruel and unusual (and amusing for the spectators) punishment.

Let the games begin!

[SilentGunner]

for the metagaming...screw with the person lead them to belive they are correct, and then at the last instrant have them hit by a train.

[grotesquefreak9]

trains have not been good to us
for times when the group splits up, those not involved could go elsewhere

for times when the group splits up, those not involved could go elsewhere

I have done that in the past in some games but part of me thinks its unfair to the other players who had to come and they end having to sit out of the game most of the night.. Though perhaps we will look into this more with some form of time limits...
