Re: [RPG]: Out in the Black, reviewed by countrysamurai (2/2)

A far more likely problem is that the players recognize her but the characters don't, so the players slump in their seats and watch their characters get abused while the GM keeps crowing "you can't act on out-of-game knowledge". I don't know about others, but I'd walk out of a game like that.
Yeah, that would suck. However, when I've run OitB, I've just changed the name she's using and everything else worked fine.

The problem with the module, then, is her alias, not the actual adventure. I'd agree that the alias should have been changed for publication, but an easily-fixed problem like that certainly doesn't make the book any less usable.

Blessed be,
