Bull, this just goes right along with one thing I was saying in
my response to Jak's message. I believe that I'm a player that
can separate what the character knows from what the player
knows. Like I said in that post. I've put my character into
situations where I knew it wasn't gonna' be good, but my
character wouldn't have known any better. If players can do
that, then let 'em read the books/sourcebooks. They just have
a better grasp of the system and the "feel" of the world.
Granted. A lot of players probably don't do that.
