@ChrisPerkinsDnD last session I succeeded in goading a newbie player into an in-character shouting match that triggered plot advancement.

Plot advancement driven by character conflict is amazeballs. So satisfying! https://t.co/PeOcNRuQ1n

@ChrisPerkinsDnD I let my players write the backstory of an NPC by controlling him during flashbacks, is that a retcon or something else?
— William Fox (@Bloody_Barghest) May 12, 2015
Neat-o! It's only a retcon if the events in the past overwrite or contradict events of the present or future. https://t.co/QzJC30H4KQ

@jason_lemerydoes the Wind Wall mitigate damage from breath weapons? #dndproblems As a DM, I'd let the wind wall spell protect against a gaseous breath weapon, but not against something like lightning.

@ChrisPerkinsDnD we have a DM who occasionally loses interest and deflates during our games. Can I do something to help this?

End the session early, and maybe talk about cool things you hope your characters get to do in the future. https://t.co/5hvNYaR6kZ

@ChrisPerkinsDnD how to make things fun for lvl 2 sorcerer whose spells are benign trans. + MageArmor? New player is bored. 3.5e

Let the character have permanent mage armor, and let the player choose a new spell in its place. Not game-breaking. https://t.co/SBhcACOgRR

@ChrisPerkinsDnD Do you share your campaign arcs with players at the beginning of a campaign? Or do they discover them as they play?
— PhDnD (@PhDnD) May 19, 2015
I let the players discover them. https://t.co/q7dBKgent1

cc:@ChrisPerkinsDnD @matthewmercer How do get a derailed party back on the main plot without it sounding too transparent? #CriticalRole

Wait for it. A half-decent opportunity to nudge them in the right direction will present itself in time. https://t.co/P0Q8cxOuEP
