In your group, keeping information secret via note-passing or one-on-one conversation might not be cause for concern. But when you’re dealing with a new player (or character) whose motivations and intentions are completely unknown to you… that might be a good time to ask what their deal is.

Pinkie Pie: (scribble scribble)

Twilight Sparkle: Is that… a note? Are you… WHY ARE YOU PASSING NOTES TO THE DM?!?

DM: I didn’t plan this.
