Werewolves're only supernatural at full moons, otherwise they're just a guy.

This means anyone can be a werewolf. If the story doesn't take place at night on full moons it just doesn't come up, you know?

Make it so in your setting everyone's a werewolf. It's just a new moon, so you don't find out.

Somewhere in the world is a mountain a thousand miles tall and made of solid diamond.

Every thousand years, a bird lands there and brushes the top with its feathers once.

And when that mountain is eroded away? I'll be free to game.

I asked my boss but I do have to be there the whole time. Sorry.

If a game session is delayed, the Big Bad's plans go on unopposed.

Miss too many, and you come back to find the world ended while you were sorting out work.

I tried to come up with an idea around "reverse dispel magic", as in a spell that takes a place without magic and puts magic there, and then I realised that I just came up with magic again.

Dispel Magic came first and all other magical spells are just putting Dispel Magic in reverse polarity.
