Why, it's where the plot is of course!

The deranged, sleep addled plot.

Misread that as "sheep addled" because I had my cursor over the word sleep.

So, todays topic may be "times simple misunderstandings had far plot affecting consequences further down the line."

The only one I can think of is that one of the early GMs I had, consistently had the "hands of the king" at any monarchy we visited be a gigantic magically empowered hand that would do the talking and be the interim between the party and the monarch. Even after he learned that it was a political position and an actual person it'd become a "thing" with our group, so there was no change.

It's fog. fog everywhere. this way i don't have to describe.

remind me of a time where i told the players that they where in a really dark Area, so that i could gain a few minutes to find my notes.
