Player Knowledge
This is also referred to as Meta Gaming knowledge by some people.
- How much do I need to know?
The participants in this Dragonslayers Space campaign do not need to know anything about the Traveller Universe. That is the Referee's (BOB's) responsibility to take the many decades of previously published background information and bring it to life for the Travellers. We welcome new players who have never used the Traveller 2nd Edition ruleset before. The only requirement to be part of this game is to be creative.
- What if I know all about Charted Space?
That is great, you will have some insight into potential Library Entries and probably have some ideas about the major Sophonts in Charted Space. That knowledge can be helpful if shared with others as "I have an intuition that X might be a factor here" and the group can build off of that to see if it is in fact accurate. It is always difficult to predict the future, especially when you are creating it.
- What if I know lots of spoilers about a System or a plot line?
It is hard to not let Player Knowledge seep in sometimes. We prefer to not let others know details of a plot line you think is happening because you played in that scenario before, or read a novel that takes place on a certain System. Knowing that information is fine. As always be aware that BOB likes to take "everyone knows" and twist it to be something just a little bit different.
Remember: Stepping Stone III is where is where the OTU {Original Traveller Universe} becomes the DTU {Dragonslayer Traveller Universe}. Also referred to MTU {My Traveller Universe}. Here is where what the Travellers do as they interact with the universe creates the changes from any official/original history or lore that has been published. This is where it becomes OUR campaign that we all create and build together. Any Player Knowledge that someone brings to the campaign is appreciated.
