Not a whole lot . alone time is important , so make sure you make time for it , fuckfaces <| sep |> they should call it HalfLife 5 . <| sep |> So a few things I have to say on this topic . I ' ve played with quite a few meta gamers every campaign I ' ve been in has been all or most new characters who metagame a bit at first . I ' m going to use the PC peeing example for all of these . First off , from the beginning you should be making them roll for it . If PC A goes for a piss and is attacked and PC B wants to wake up make them roll perception if it ' s reasonable they could hear it . Also I ' d suggest as soon as PC A is attacked having all characters who could reasonably hear it roll perception . So PC B fails the perception roll and you tell him he doesn ' t hear anything . He still insists Well I want to wake up and pee OK , roll a con save . Unless you fail the con save you don ' t need to pee , sorry . You ' re the DM , meta gaming should be hard to do at the table . Well PC B foiled your plans by rolling shit on the con save . OK , but you ' re groggy . PC B , where would you like to go ? at this point if PC B remembers where to go and gets there , he gets there . You made it hard for him and he got lucky . Also , remember travel takes time . PC B wouldn ' t be sprinting so there will be at least a solid 510 turns until he gets there . Also you talk to him out of game about it and either teach him a lesson in game see next paragraph or remove him from the group . Second off , particularly with beginners it can be worth it to teach them the downside of meta gaming in game , so they learn and remember it . Really I ' d only resort to this if you don ' t want to kick a player and you have spoken to them a few times about meta gaming and they still insist on doing it . Again , PC A goes for a piss and is attacked . PC B meta games it and goes to help PC A . Oh shit , now your party is completely split in half ? Damn , sucks for you that the bandits attacking PC A just became a scout team tasked with keeping him busy while his buddies snuck up on the rest of the group and stole some of their loot . Now instead of your entire party minus PC A getting a quick win , knowing something is up with PC A because they were awoken by bandits and PC A was missing and being able to reasonably find him , both halves have tough fights due to being split and potentially loses a PC .
