[QUOTE="barsoomcore, post: 1444531, member: 812"] Oh, man, I am the KING of screwing up my own campaign. I have the same problem as Cake Mage in that my NPCs are forever getting carried away and introducing new plot elements that completely contradict what I'm hoping to set up, or I panic and make stuff up, only realising too late that I've just contradicted some massively important background info the players already know about, so they start going, "What's going on here?" and I have to figure out how to tap-dance my way back into some sort of sensible (or at least vaguely plausible) structure that includes both the material they already know and whatever nonsense I've just spewed... I rely on the "everybody remembers events differently" excuse a LOT. My party has gotten used to the idea that there's no way to figure out what REALLY happened two thousand years ago -- they're only ever going to get various people's subjective observations on what happened.
