Just a few things that will help you keep the RPG in context.
TENSES Stolen from Illyria, because she summed it up so well
If a plot line has been started in past tense, keep it that way. Don't fluctuate between past and present tense.
As well as this, if a plot line is being written in third person narrative, don't change it to first person narrative, unless you're writing a thought, diary or journal scene for a character.
3rd person = She did this; he did that...
1st person = I did that; I will do that...
Past tense = She didn't know what to do at the time/I didn't know what to do at the time.
Present tense = She doesn't know what to do right now/I don't know what to do right now.
