The Way of Sensei Wu

The more I recontextualize Tidbits to make them match how the characters acquired them, the more they look like micro PC-NPC interactions, and thus the weirder it feels to hide them within private forums.

So I'm wondering if, starting from Day 2, they shouldn't be listed in a public thread instead. Character knowledge versus player knowledge as always applies, but that don't seem like it would be more of an issue than in any other game.

No strong feeling one way or another on my side, I have arguments for all options of the poll competing in my head at the moment.

Share and share alike. The story to be told is for the players and I think everyone here is good enough about keeping separate what their characters and what they as players know.

If things don't come out wholly publicly--and I can see why they might not--then an after-game thread with them would be welcome.

I think that having bits of information hidden in your back pocket is a nice little reward to be able to share or not share as the player sees fit. It IS a short game after all, I don't see the harm in waiting til post game to post a public list of secrets found at that point.

Ambivalent. Though I did want to note that I'm really appreciating the personalized bits, they are definitely minor NPC moments.

I don't mind sharing. Players should be able to separate IC and OOC knowledge.

Neutral on during game. Very pro sharing post-game if they do not become public during the game.

I'm not against sharing during game, but I will agree that there is always that little bit of fun in situations where you receive a PM about your roll/what information you found in an investigation and then are given the onus to share in your characters perceptions/words.

So, I do enjoy not sharing until after game. If it's important after game shares are always appreciated to see all the cool tidbits!

One penny, two.

I'll go with sharing post-game too, with players deciding what to share in-game.

Not that I think it's a problem if they're shared, but it does provide a little "reward" in a way, as some have said, and it's interesting to have them be shared by the characters IC.

No strong majority in major of publicizing them, so Tidbits will remain in private forums.
