Player Knowledge before starting.
Hello all,
Given that adventuring parties going down the hole in The Yawning Portal is becoming more common and Skullport exists, I've been wondering about player knowledge of the Dungeon.
In advance of starting our campaign, I have thus far been describing it in vagaries along with the caveat that the Dungeon changes. The older that rumors or maps are the more likely they are no longer accurate.
They know it is very dangerous and barely anyone used to return. But now, possibly due to preparation, sharing of knowledge, and exercising due caution; parties are more likely to return... even if a few get left behind.
What did your players know of the Dungeon before going in? What rumors did you seed or would you recommend spreading?
