Splitting the Party

Splitting the Party

Splitting the party also falls into the metagaming category, although this is typically allowed if it doesn't create two separate story arcs and is a temporary situation. All PC's automatically share all knowledge the players experienced of what happened when the party reunites. This is unrealistic, but facilitates fun at our table. In rare situations, if party split experience needs to be kept separate, then we physically separate the players in real life to keep the PC/Player metagaming out of our experience, then let the players fill each other in as they see fit when the party reunites. Either way, the PC – Player knowledge is kept as close as possible.
