Some will remember my last run where i have put the chars. in an volcanic inferno right in the middle of hells kitchen. Unfortunately neither the chars. nor the players know ANYTHING about volcanos, pyroclastic clouds, calderas or earthquakes etc. So they stumbled in some quite difficult situations. If i assume my own knowledge, the only sources i got informations about this happenings are my college-education and my personal interest in documentations. But my friends are more into soccer and their chars. have no school-education at all. They also lack ANY knowledge skill that is academic or an interest skill that could be defaulted on.
So do you see any chance to prevent such situations for the future? Should i launch a "general education"-knowledge skill that they could refer to? What, besides their knowledge skill, does a char. know about his world? I mean, that is what knowledge skills are for. If you don´t have it, you don´t know anything about it. |
