DM: "You enter a room. There are three dead bodies lined up along the wall, each with a mysterious sigal etched into their foreheads. Also, you see a clown."

Player 1: "I sense motive on the clown."

Player 2: "I talk to the clown."

Player 3: "Omg, my parents were killed by clowns. I wrote the DM 300 pages of fiction about it. I draw my sword and prepare to fight!"

DM: "Damn, why aren't these players interested in my clues?"
