I'll admit I have a good bit of lore to my settings, but I give it out in doses when the details are relevant so they don't get overwhelmed. Yet I've always got one or two players who don't read it and they think that I'm just pulling random crap out of my ass when it's an established fact and has been for weeks or even months. It's rarely more than 200-300 words in summary (though going into extreme detail is when it gets retarded) but this is a major part of the reason I quit running games. Why bother giving you a setting if you just want to kill shit? Go play WOW if you want to play something where you can ignore the lore.
