I remember the signature of the member of the German Shadowrun Forum hostet by FanPro... Translated, it means somewhat like: "No adventure survives contact with players". The hardest thing for a DM is that you NEVER know what crazy or intelligent ideas your players might come.Sometimes, the group totally fails to see the easiest clue (like in our Wheel of Time Campaign <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> , sometimes they see the big, great mistake you made in the adventure, sometimes they just use a way you absolutely did not except. (And sometimes, they are just not interested in your adventure and hijack it at any time they can...)There is only one thing that can really rescue a DM here - and that`s why it is so difficult to be the "Master" - improvisation. (I know it is hard. I have my own problems with it. But it might help if you can except that your players can make other decisions as you expected them...)Oh, and for the "extraplanar" thingy with Perform: Since it is mentioned together with "patrons of distant countries", we probably have several realworld actors that are able to beat the DCs. There are just not enough extraplanar creatures able to visit the Earth (or we just never saw them <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> ). Several musicians where invited by people like the pope, some arabian scheichs and so on to play just for them. Movies can be watched nearly everywhere in our world - and they ARE watched. The German TV Series "Derick" has been translated in dozens of languages and is showed even in Japan, China and similar countries. (And it means a lot if it is a German Series. American are more common) Mustrum Ridcully</blockquote>
