If your table is already very in-character, bringing in meta stuff might spoil the mood. OR it could have some absolutely fabulous antics resulting, if they play it straight!Spwackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07247063374457045751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2805991960213130257.post-1851461559695626232018-12-21T23:55:05.022-08:002018-12-21T23:55:05.022-08:00Comics and cartoons and videogames and so on get t...Comics and cartoons and videogames and so on get to play with meta stuff, after all. I think there's untapped potential for meta shenanigans in RPGs as well! The only question is how it can be done well, considering the uniqueness of every gaming group...Wizzzarghhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01275138733482156801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2805991960213130257.post-89538615308668632132018-12-21T23:48:59.353-08:002018-12-21T23:48:59.353-08:00The 'somehow' might be the fault of a book...The 'somehow' might be the fault of a book called "The history of four-footed beasts and serpents." and/or the various origins of that text.

Either they will be offended by the Deadpool like villain and fight him, or embrace the notion that living things are just exp to be gained. It just seems more honest to act on 'forbidden (meta game)knowledge' rather than just trying to dress it up as eating souls or whatever.SkySeekerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11884305152170172750noreply@blogger.com
