It's usually the control-type ones, who do not trust the GM to judge what is interesting and relevant. Some other players may enjoy useless information to have some in-depth background. If presented correctly an accord on e.g. "How the triads (don't) fulfill certain cliches." (think of "restaurant's backroom") might help them with immersion. I had one player who usually lacked engagement totally go out of his usual way, when he was able to ask me (non-relevant) details on a cryptography puzzle. | |

| Mar 8, 2014 at 23:02 | comment | added | user4000 | Correct me if I'm wrong. I think you misunderstand your players. They don't want to know everything about the triads. They want to know everything interesting and relevant about them. | |
