Re: Another RP Idea
I'm not obsessed over whether or not he got past Sean by sneaking by him, I'm just annoyed over how my misassumption was handled. There was no indication of just what the security door looked like, how it opened, or even whether or not it was open. I was only told any of this in this OOC discussion, which should not be the place to tell players like me these things.
I had no idea how the door operated at the time, and when I brought it up, all I was told was, "It should have been obvious." Am I to assume that you'll leave out more explanations and detail, just because you think they're obvious? Should I also have played Resident Evil, to know what Chris looks like? I mean, it'd be obvious what hair color he has, if you played Resident Evil, right?
You knew how the door operates, I didn't. You know what Claudia looks like, and I had to find out myself by looking up Warehouse 13, because you failed to fill in the details. I was also under the assumption, once again, due to a misunderstanding from lack of detail, that Claudia was speaking over a radio the evening of our introduction, and therefor, Roger couldn't have seen her. This obviously was not what happened in your mind, but how am I to know, when you don't post what's going on in your mind in detail? Hell, I don't even know the layout of Leena's Bed and Breakfast. I didn't even know there was a couch to sit on, or how many there were. I don't know how bright it is, I don't know how it smells. But, you do. And a player like me is counting on you to tell me these things so I have an understanding of my surroundings, which I didn't.
Don't get mad at me when I misunderstand, when it's the GM's job to help me understand. Rather than telling me it should all be obvious.
