Simply telling the players flat-out out of game that you screwed up giving them something and hinting that the next campaign you're going to build some plot off of repairing the mistake. With the right group, having them KNOW that your intent is to take their new toy away, BUT that you intend to compensate them somewhat, can be the difference between hurt feelings and helpful players. | |
