You approach to marketing and your defense of it is causing the reactions.

No game Friday. Family night.

IMHO, you handled the marketing of your game poorly. And your attempts at damage control do not seem to be having the desired effect. I'm not sure if there is a path to restoring the trust of the community for you.

I don't think this is the pun thread. :) ;)

I have an idea. Why don't you show us a character concept that you came up with, including the character sheet.

Hopefully, it isn't the result of cross contamination.

IMO, PCs have always been the focus, but they are not special. That is, there are other adventurers in the world, so the may be more "special" than the local farmer, but relative to other adventurers they are just one of quite a few.

Yep, we've decided to try Draw Steel tonight.

I just give a general description of the room, and let the players initiate a request for further details. That's part of exploration that is on the shoulders of the players.

My example was extreme to point out its flaws. Even reasonable players will give themselves an edge (even a slight one) when given the opportunity.

I think having to fill in the gaps for every room or encounter would start getting tedious after a while for most people. The novelty of this approach would wear off rather quickly.

I think a lot more people would take advantage of it then you might realize.

Right. But it appears that at least two people in this thread have had bad experiences with some GMs. And I'm trying to emphasize, that this isn't normal.

Well, if they have thousands of GP, and a powerful artifact, that would certainly allow the characters to control the situation, links or not. :)
