[HQ Ignorance] Re : Scene 55: The Damned Dam Breakers!

[Sam Elliot]

I was rather assuming that it would be virtually impossible to
communicate accurately and would make almost no difference anyway. If
anything, it is better for A. to think there is no possible other help
- it'd be more dramatic that way. Also such a message could
conceivably be intercepted.

As for coordinating what characters are up to - well that is very much
multi-legged-party-monster play and isn´t necessarily everyone´s
taste. My personal preference is for players to coordinate things,
yes, but often in a way which is prejudicial to the characters.

If Azhur accidentally charges Icthya down, hell, I think that's fun.
Why do you think I am trying to get her and o possible band of elves
dressed up in the enemy's clothes?

All of that said, I am left stone cold by characters having "secrets"
which are not communicated to other players. Likewise, characters
having everything coordinated - that's fun sometimes but can often be
quite dull too.

Sam.
