[QUOTE="Wednesday Boy, post: 6875184, member: 53678"] I've had GMs use "Last week on D&D..." pre-session recaps (like non-episodic television shows often have) to good effect. This not only allowed them to refresh their players' memories of what happened in the previous session and what direction the session was heading but it allowed them to highlight story elements that were missed or glossed over. If the session recap notes that the burned body at the funeral was amiss it could encourage the players to re investigate it. Another technique is to have the players do the pre-session recap. This way you get insight into what the players took from the previous session. If they gloss over the burned body during their recap and it's pivotal for your campaign, you know you have to give them additional clues and/or more obvious clues. These pre-session recaps might not help in this situation since the game is so close to its end. But if used throughout the campaign they may have cut the issue off at the pass. [/QUOTE]
