Hello everyone,

College commandment #1: If it's possible to schedule your exams for different classes on different days, do it. Only having to study for one test at a time is worth the extra gas to drive a half-hour. After I ace these (here's hoping!) I'm considering getting research in for some articles I've got ideas for. There's one thing I really don't need to research anymore and that's metagaming. Each game I've played since the very beginning had this in it. Sometimes it was me, sad to say. I've learned a thing or two about it since then.

What a Character Knows
Have you tried asking people what metagaming is just to be told a long story and still have little understanding of the term? Did you ever wish someone would give you a straight-out definition? Maybe you're looking for a short article explaining it now. Here I am, and here it is.
