I can now say I have DM’d a D&D game four times. Before an earlier session, I created a minor character whose backstory and circumstances are peripheral to the main quest but were mysterious enough to capture the party’s imagination. Yesterday, the players spent more than 30 minutes debating how to deal with that character… and I think they came to a consensus decision… but because it had been a long session, they decided to pause the story before taking any action. I really didn’t expect my players to keep ME in suspense between sessions, but here we are.
