Oh, I agree with that - I figured exactly the same as you. What I
suspect is unlikely (though I could be wrong) is that in most games,
something will happen that will make it undeniable that that's the case.
Though, doubtless, it could happen in some, and, as Jane says, not
having a clue what's going to happen does make foreshadowing rather tricky.

I think the Issaries website might not be the best place for this. After
all, one *does* want to keep the players in suspense - the GM may want
to know what's coming up, but ideally, the player's shouldn't. So one
doesn't want to have the information too readily accessible to the world
at large. As Tim says in a later post, putting them in a scenario book
isn't a problem, because the player's shouldn't be reading that, anyway.
(Granted, they could avoid the relevant part of the website, but when
its up there as 'public knowledge' it will likely be less easy to avoid
finding out somehow).
