[QUOTE="Janx, post: 7653130, member: 8835"] I think there's missing context here. I bet Ahnehnois doesn't mean when a player has a new idea about something that isn't happening now. To which recording that and using it later makes sense. I bet what he means is when Ahnehnois has his idea of what the smoke monster is in the current campaign, and his players have their own idea of what the smoke monster is. Ahnehnois seems to be saying, that he will switch to the player's better idea for "whats going on" if it is truly better than his and avoids contradictions. Because the player's "idea" is about the current situation, it would be useless to record their theory about the smoke monster so a future campaign can have a smoke monster like that instead of the current smoke monster. You're not likely to use a smoke monster in a future campaign (under the assumption that the smoke monster is a special thing and not a critter from the monster manual to be killed for XP one day).
