when you make up the lore in your dnd campaign in a split second during real time play and now you have to make it canon

so in the dnd campaign we’re playing one of the player characters has been arrested, refused to apologise or back down, and is probably gonna die next session RIP

he was arrested for being naked in the street of all things btw

he’s a 2ft tall gnome and instead of apologising for being nude he demanded trial by combat

One of the things that’s important in a long-running RPG is making a memorable plot that attains definitive closure. You don’t want players feeling like they have unfinished business and want to go Do More Things.

So, for instance, say you start dropping hints early on of some sort of epic Magical Badass, like a lich queen or something. Early on, the players don’t find out much; just that there’s someone called Zola who is behind a whole lot of strange shit, and a lot of it is not good. And they are never quite sure what she is. Wizard? Dragon? Lich? But eventually they find out: She has many forms, but her true form is one of the Medusas. Not the modern watered-down species that fall for the mirror crap and you have to meet their gaze, but a true abomination from beyond the veil, whose stare can turn whole armies to stone.

The reason this works as a plot is that the players will never speak to you again once they realize you spent six months building up to the reveal that the big cheese is the legendary gorgon Zola.

you’re grounded.
