Retconning isn’t bad. Sometimes you have to because the person you RPed with was a total cunt or brings up bad feelings. I agree with the other things however!
Yep, retconning is necessary sometimes. EVERYTHING ELSE THOUGH…
… I’m honestly amazed that my first RP partners didn’t find some way to shank me in real life just to shut down the fountain of crap that spewed from my keyboard.
The biggest problem is people retconning during a continuing campaign/storyline without discussing it with their partner(s) first… especially if they’re doing it to avoid the circumstances of their decisions. e_e
Yes, sometimes retconning is necessary, but it makes it extremely hard to keep up the momentum and flow if you have partners who are constantly changing things “that happened” because they’re having second thoughts.
