But why?

The pls leave the game Fred or start reading the fucking notes you're been handed.

I know right, people should only play characters like themselves. That's why I only play muscle-bound sex-gods.

And you use your muscles during games? Do you use your sex powers during games? No.
If the player plays a high intelligence character, a lorekeeper, he should AT LEAST read notes and take them.

Not OP, but don't play a character if you can't depict their key traits.

Playing a muscular god is easy, since that is reflected in the mechanics. Playing a lorekeeper when you literally can't remember anything is gonna be quite difficult if you don't keep notes.

A forgetfull lorekeeper who scribbles everything down on small paper notes sounds like fun though.

After a long hard day of wrestling my enemies down and making them submit sometimes I just like to imagine something else okay?

Sounds like my previous GM.

It's not handed, man, you just flip them across and I'm supposed to know they're important?

You've gotta make a show of it, man. Get me interested in the notes.
Make me feel like I am the keeper of the note and the note is the difference between saving the world and dying.
You just shuffle them off like 'you find a piece of blah' and I'm like 'sounds like exposition. NEXT'.

I've already put in the effort to wake up specifically for this stuff, so you know I give a crap.
I just need you to sell it harder or biology just takes over.
