But it doesn't hurt to ask if a particular addition to the backstory the player invented is okay if the DM is not sure. I've done this plenty as a DM and, while I can't recall any specific instances of a DM doing that for me as a player, I'm sure it's happened and I went along with it.I'm very much of a "Yes, and..." mindset and so are my players. Nothing exists until established and then, once established, it can't be contradicted. It's how you get something from nothing, and quickly, in a way that comes with immediate buy-in from all the people at the table. It makes for both smoother gameplay in my experience and more highly developed and interesting characters and worlds.</blockquote>
