Episode 157: Regina ex Machina

<<FIRST     <PREVIOUS     NEXT>     LATEST>>

As mentioned previously, some players maintain the distinction between player knowledge and character knowledge very faithfully. But if you're clever, there will arise certain situations in which you can do something completely in character, that makes perfect sense without the player knowledge, and which forces the issue into the open.

If you pull this off, though, there is the strong temptation to do some out-of-character crowing.

{beat panel: Qui-Gon really confused}
