RE: [DL] London in the deadlands world?

["Stephen L. Jacobs" <steve@epciowa.com>]

If I remember right I have only had to invoke the rule once. It was with a
character that had been in the group for nearly a year and was even central
to the story that was going on. It was hard work reorganizing things to take
into account the character's sudden bought Instant Death Syndrome, but I
seriously believe that I will never have to do it again. And yes my players
read the marshal's sections of books and other stuff. I even have a few
lurking players on this list who are attracted to "Spoiler Warnings" like
buzzards to a shoot out." You know who you are... :) The use of a scroll
wheel is just too tempting to fend off for most, especially when you are
specifically told not to read something. Reverse psychology.

I go by a similar set of standards, the difference being, if you aren't
a Marshal, do not read the Marshal sections, and only read the No Man's
Land section if approved by the Marshal(s).  The using Player Knowledge
in character, yeah, I agree totally.  And the other Marshal in our
group tells me the same thing.
