For a smooth game experience, everyone should understand what the game is about. Basic rule of roleplaying.

We have suggested the opposite before: keeping details of the setting secret and deliberately building up false player expectations, in order to throw a surprise twist. We said it then, and we repeat it now: Only try that if you know your players very well.

If you're still feeling your way, or running your first adventure, keep things straightforward. You can save your apologies for more important things.

R2-D2: But it was awesome. I had the most powerful character ever!
