I suppose the DM has a contingency plan for if someone casts Zone of Truth

There's always picking up a game at the local tavern!
(This plan has a 64.8% chance not to end poorly)
People want to feel like they're in a historic setting, but they also want dragons and potatoes. 🤷♂️
Potatoes come from the Elemental Plane of Earth.
The mighty DM has spoken!
At one point when people on Twitter were arguing about the historical accuracy of LGBT+ groups in a DnD setting, I made the argument that anyone who includes potatoes in their setting doesn't care about historical accuracy anyway. This led to a discussion about what would be missing from a medieval setting and the conclusion that a "historically accurate" DnD setting would have gay people, but not potatoes. This became a running joke.
Fast forward a few months, and during a fair there's a vendor selling "sausages in a bun, topped with mustard sauce or sauerkraut." The players caught on to them being hotdogs, and it sparked another discussion about what foods were available in a "historically accurate" setting.
(Which, all those ingredients would have been available to the setting, even of they weren't eaten in that configuration.)
I see that hair curl! A lot of time and care went into that. Very nice!
RaW vs RaI: Heresy Edition
Good Me: Hey, if the party wants to use revivify on an NPC, that's really sweet. It shows they're emotionally invested in the game. Don't have the lich counterspell it.
Evil Me: Yeah, have the lich use disintegrate immediately afterwards, instead. Try rezzing that, religion nerd!
I would be so hyped to run into these two in a dungeon.
