Most important thing I've learned from D&D?
No matter how tempting it may be, as a DM I can't both present a problem and solve it.
Every time a DMPC or NPC fixes something a payer couldn't i'm diminishing and undermining that player's contribution.

...plot holes such as what? I tend to not notice things like that unless they're more than obvious. I'm not exactly the most observant of all of the details, despite trying to.

At best (worst? I don't know...), Grape's gender isn't treated as a shock to anyone anymore, just with Peanut and Max. I'm willing to accept if the rest of the pets learned offscreen, though.

Don't know if this is really a plot hole but more a filler is the 5000 bc thing where tarot should have and had to know how the game work and stop the who story arch before it started.

One can see the future, but probably only what she needed or expected to know. She probably didn't expect someone related to the game from the past to show up after the events, and since demi-gods are not entirely omniscient during the game, Dragon wouldn't have known about it, either. Plus, when Tarot finally did speak up, she suggested that Dragon put a block on that specific part of history to keep Kitsune from taking action.

What I mean is tarot is a very smart character. She should have know the solution straight away for by what I know her life was centered around the game. She knows how it works she also know dragon wouldn't want to cheat in that way.

But this is how the thing end. What I'm saying is that tarot should have known this ahead of time through knowing the game rules and knowing dragon on a more than personal level. ((sorry don't know how to post pictures

With Tarot, consider that she was suddenly thrust into this without Dragon to guide her. She was wracking her brain trying to figure out how space and time work to keep things from possibly going wrong. Basically, she's in a cosmic dilemma without the aid of someone who was likely her guide for a good chunk of her life. She had no idea how Kitsune would treat paradoxes, so her solution was really on a whim and out of desperation from being caught by Dragon in the past. Besides, when people panic, they rarely think straight.
