Top Ten Questions - What is Metagaming and Should I Avoid It?
In my experience running a YouTube channel with over 80,000 viewers,
this is one of the ten most frequently asked questions in all of tabletop gaming.
Metagaming is, in simple terms, the using of player knowledge, game knowledge,
to influence the choices one makes for their character within the game.
Where this may be problematic is when a player has their character act on knowledge
that the character doesn't know, but they the player does.
Metagaming is a very normal approach to most types of games but in the tabletop rpg world
it is something that many try to actively avoid. Whether you will or will not is a choice to be left up to you
and your gaming group, so make sure you have a discussion on it before your next session.
Never make the assumption that everyone is on the same page with this.
