I am considering having Fizban the Fabulous make an appearance in my campaign. All my players are new and likely haven’t read the Dragonlance novels, so this name won’t mean anything to them. I’m considering doing this because I want them to have a chance to dip into some of the more famous lore of D&D. On the other hand, I’m a bit worried that they’ll just throw the name into a search and the jig will be up. Is my reason for doing it completely ridiculous when weighed against my concern? Anyone else have experience with something like this? Did your players metagame and spoil the fun, or did it work out for you?
