I was hoping to get some input from other DMs on this one.
How do you convey information to your players? It's the most basic question, almost akin to "what tense do I write this story in". It's a matter of opinion at times.
To clarify: Say I have an unfamiliar place or concept I want to explain to my players, without them making too many assumptions.
For conversations sake, I'll use my homebrew settings Half-Goblins. One way to approach this... "as you arrive at the assigned meeting place, you find your contact. A thin man with blonde hair, a long nose and pale skin the color of green olives".
How would you put it? Would you out right add "he is a half-goblin" to the end of that explanation? Or would you wait until your players asked for specific information?
Sorry if this is hard to follow. I'm a little buzzed...
