There's nothing magical about what I've written down. I change direction from my prep notes all the time.  Sometimes what people thought was established fact changes when new information comes to light.Ultimately the  DM is deciding how to narrate any action the PC attempts. Shuffling the goalposts around doesn't change anything.  I try to run a fairly "grounded" campaign given the assumptions of wizards, dragons and whatnot.  If I were in a game where suddenly my sage that's trapped in Ravenloft has access to a library of knowledge to do research in, it would be off-putting to me.  It's not that the DM couldn't come up with some reason for it, it's that it wouldn't fit the nature of the campaign.It also has incredibly little to do with overall player agency.</blockquote>
