To be clear, that wasn't intended as any kind of implied criticism. I just saw that you had a spoiler explaining some meta stuff, and decided to add a bit of my own.

I didn't see it as a critism...

I was pointing out why I had done so as much so the other players know that I don't expect them to follow suit...

In regards to the current poll on the main thread about unimportant part and such I am going to take majority rule. As in if 2 more people vote yes or the remaining four vote no than that is what will happen. If there is a tie I will go with whatever I feel like doing at any point in the game. Thus the chaotic neutral DM has spoken.

I'm fine with you automatically advancing unimportant things. Especially so since I have a tendency to forget about them... As I just realised I did now. :roll:

You've completed 3 challenges, so this is not one. I wonder which of his wives is out at the moment.

And this is exactly why Humphrey has challenges and years of servitude for each question. He's not there to give people the answers they want. He's there to give them the answers they need. He's done so. Now, go away. He's busy.

What are you talking about? We have not much to go on. We need all the info we can get, not scraps which he wants to give. Idon't care how busy he is, this is king's buisness

Just probably what Humphrey's thinking. Even in cases where the royal succession has been involved, he's never been so detailed to tell people what all the dangers are or how to solve them, which it looks like some people are demanding. And if he tells you that, which he may not know as it doesn't classify as Information but rather as Knowledge, Odd might as well be writing a story rather than GMing a game. Further, there may be Information it's better you figure out during the journey, or you may take an unexpected path during your quest.

If he told us everything, there would be little for us to do. And I expect that we'll have some surprises along the way. If it was as simple as going directly to the bad guy and beating him up, it would be a pretty short game. But, as Burns said, we'll try to get as much out of him as we can. And sometimes that means asking the right question. Hence the kitchen sink approach. He won't answer everything, but he might answer some. No telling which until you try.

Besides, all this is meta. In character, it only makes sense to try to get all the answers and make the task as easy and simple as possible.

Your observation is unnecessary.

I may only be the GM but I feel I need to defend Dave. He is totally right about too much info mailing it simply a story. At the sane time Wears is right that the characters would ask questions. Regardless I ask that you treat eachother nicely in this thread.

As for why the magician needed to speak to you directly and the game update those will be incoming once I get home from school in around 2 hours.
