In my case, I'm always suckered by the idea that in order to properly appreciate the revelation, you need to have perspective. Which means grounding the early adventures in the.. not the mundane, but the everyday and letting the mystery build up in dribs and drabs so that PCs can understand things s...

I know that revelation <> mystery, but a few examples that I can think of: L5R Canon - the revelation that the Emperor to whom all the players have sworn unflagging allegiance is not the selfish, capricious and weak child that everyone believes.

I like the idea of a fun mystery for PCs/players to unravel together. I am huge fan of revelation stories.* However, keeping players in the dark is hard (occasionally mean), quality revelations require more build up time than the average campaign allows before dying and moving on to something else, ...

Admittedly, it was the 80s but my first RPG experience was the Marvel Super Heroes Basic Boxed Set. The second was a second hand, mostly destroyed MERP boxed set. I think boxed sets have the potential to bring in many many new players. But those players don't go to game stores. They go to box stores...
