Mar 22, 2021 at 13:03 comment added Wheat Wizard @HeyICanChan Well I guess I am saying that you can trust me to adapt whatever answer to my scenario, rather than worry about it yourself. I think nitsua60 is probably correct in saying "good answers to specific questions/scenarios tend to also explain good general practices/wisdom". Because the core of this is not "what do I do?" but "how do I do?".
Mar 22, 2021 at 12:57 comment added Hey I Can Chan It's just that, as a potential respondent, I don't know how to work around that. For instance, if I suggested Cyndemund hunt for the author of the destroyed tomes, in your campaign there might not be an analogue for Cyndemund, the author, and/or the tomes therefore my suggestion is useless to you. It's kind of like going to the doctor and saying your foot hurts and hoping the medicine the doc prescribes soothes your migraine. (Pardon the imperfect analogy.)

Mar 22, 2021 at 12:45 comment added Wheat Wizard @HeyICanChan The main issue is not the spoilers but that the actual scenario has a ton of irrelevant details, and confusing structure. I pretty much always use a false scenario in questions here and I've never had an issue. So maybe I should just remove the notice.
Mar 22, 2021 at 12:44 comment added nitsua60 I'd encourage you to rethink that last paragraph: in my experience (sitewide, but even more so with DW questions) good answers to specific questions/scenarios tend to also explain good general practices/wisdom, while an author trying to write a more-general answer ends up with something less useful both in the specific and the general.
Mar 22, 2021 at 12:42 comment added Hey I Can Chan RE: "I am asking for an answer that is more general than just this fake scenario, so while you may feel free to use examples from this, something highly specific to this scenario is close to useless to me." Without the reader knowing which parts of question's scenario are accurate and which aren't, answers risk misinterpreting the importance of each detail the question provides. I urge putting the the actual events from the campaign in spoiler markdown instead of alluding to them. That way answers can be immediately relevant, and your plot can remain concealed from players' nosy eyes.
