Plot twists in Campaigns that always get you

>Killing a god only to have it reform after nine years and present itself as a helpful voice trying to avoid a known cataclysm that killing said god would bring about.

I suspected it three sessions ago and the gm confirmed it session before last. Now my cleric is super glad he made a pact with the party rogue to kill him should he show signs of succumbing to madness.

>Evil Emperor is actually rallying people to break out from under the feet of over demanding gods

None really... I never really been in a GM created plot twist.
I dont think they would feel good unless there was clues all along.

6 years ago we started playing a campaign with 12 players, said story lasted a good year and 3 months, then he followed it with another story on the same setting that lasted 2 years and a month (aprox) once we reached the climax and the DM big bad guy in the climax of the story he let us know that he had some special henchment monitoring everything from the begining, to our surprise we discovered that not one, but 4 of our players where working with the DM since the very begining to reach this point to betray us.
the betray was completely real, and the fight was so intense it lasted pretty much a whole day
shit was so cash

as a DM I keep either notes or recordings of every game session and I always use my same world as a setting but in different time periods. you can do the math. in a particular story I tried to pull a "Crisis on Infinite Earths" kind of story that my players averted as a result they fell in a void with some high-level minions of my big bad, when they recovered counsiousness and fought the minions they nearly destroyed the location, guess what? that location ended up exactly as the location where the very first story I put them in was, as a special note moments after the figh was over I let them do a INT check, everyone but one player failed it, that one guy saw on the horizon somethin that felt like a deja vu but since his roll was slightly over the minimum he was unable to pinpoint exactly what, what he described to the party was nothing else than THEIR characters on their very first story coming on the distance to fight their very first fight

after that they pretty much tried to return to their time perion and during that story I used my archives on the original story and the follow up so I either let them visit places before or slightly after their original aventure took place, I retconed that certain actions they made now pretty much gave form to their original couple of adventures, from destroyed locations, to missing stuff, hell coincidentally in one city one of them buyed every last arrow he could, guess what? when HIS very own character first visited said store he tried to buy arrows but for reasons they where completely sold out! to this day I still can't remember why I did that the first time

AND they where pretty much the direct responsibles behind certain antagonists across their adventures, some by accident (8/14) some because some of them remembered stuff from certain NPC and just wanted to juck up with them (6/14)

This game is currently on-going, so I have to be vague in case my group reads this.

One of the players have suspected for a while that there was a traitor among us, but without any hard evidence. In a recent session one of the PCs was revealed to be the traitor when he turned on the party. Everyone feels confident that the case has been solved.

I can't wait to reveal to them that my character has also been a traitor all along, hard at work spying, sabotaging and converting key NPCs...

This is pretty good.
