But here are some points to consider.ДЇirst option, you can just ignore it. IвЂ™m actually not sure there are any great solutions-thereвЂ™s definitely no silver bullet that will work in every situation. Unfortunately, for playerвЂ™s itвЂ™s not so easy. вЂњYeah, you only get two syllables out before she howls in rage, picks up the massive, oak table and throws it at your head.вЂќ But, if they persist, then you have the narrative control to at least have the rest of the world respond appropriately. вЂњSo-after breaking down the front door and murdering her husband-youвЂ™re going to try and sweet talk the ogre into just forgetting the whole incident?вЂќ

When a player does somethingвЂ¦umвЂ¦letвЂ™s say вЂњunexpected,вЂќ you can start by repeating the action back to them: It just makes it hard to engage with and enjoy the story.ДЇor the GM, I think this is easier. Instead, IвЂ™m just talking about cases where plot holes, technical inaccuracies, or an unexpected change in tone drops you out of the story. ThatвЂ™s a totally different issue, which others have covered much more thoroughly than I ever could. NOTE: IвЂ™m not talking about offensive or inappropriate behavior here. Say the GM describes the world in a way that just doesnвЂ™t make sense? Or an NPC acts in a way that doesnвЂ™t seem believable? How do you keep yourself engaged with the story, if youвЂ™re having trouble suspending disbelief? We willingly ignore the imperfections and suspend disbelief because roleplaying lets us become part of the story in ways passive entertainment, like TVs, movies, or books, just canвЂ™t.Д«ut, what happens when youвЂ™re playing, and something happens that breaks you out of the story. We lose track of a characterвЂ™s voice or personality. And we all make snap decisions that end up being mistakes.
