How do I get my PCs to spot the clues?


Reign of Winter

Wayfinders

Hello, my players and I just finished MMC and I had a rough time steering them in the right direction. I am not sure how I am going to fare in this next AP, so grant me some advice please!


You can summarize the important stuff, or sometimes I repeat the important sentences to add emphasis. Sometimes I may raise my voice slightly so it's not so obvious but players start listening a bit closer. Sometimes I will simply meta-game a bit and say that important clues are coming and you will not be able to complete the mission without picking them up.

If I want to give my players clues, I just let them roll an appropriate knowledge check if they have one. Then if they roll high enough (and usually there is one player who does), I give them the relevant information. This usually works.
If they do not have knowledge, just let them roll intelligence checks and tell them: "You remember..."
And if they have forgotten something, just let them roll the same knowledge check the next playing session. Chances are they do not even remember the previous one.
