This is a bad take. Badly phrased without much thought. Not intended for all people. Not meant to be general advice. It also conveys a message of removal of certain people which I do not support.

While true, I also feel that that's where you need to feel out the border of what's actually fun for your players. If it were me personally, I wouldn't feel motivated, I'd feel annoyed and feel the DM was out to punish us.

To the extent of the NPC or item being secondary to having fun and having a great story line. If the PCs heard about NPC X recently in game time but the players haven't played for two weeks, I won't be a dick about it.

Or maybe remember that you're a fellow player in a game, not a hard ass school teacher, and sometimes things slip.

The Player in charge of notes (wrote a 'report' after each game), which helps a lot with retaining such information, is also a stoner who SUCKS at getting names right. Almost *all* NPC were misnamed so much it'd affect canon. Now HE is taking over as DM. I shall have VENGEANCE!pic.twitter.com/MZzmw6ILRC

Tbf I was a more lenient DM in regards to pretty much everything since most of my players are first-timers (just now finishing the first arc I homebrewed for them). We made sure mistakes were teaching moments instead of punishments, and decisions & choices often up to revision.

Do you make them perform actual magic and sleight of hand checks at the table, too? Speak in actual Elvish when conversing with elves? Characters can do and remember lots of things players can't. Maybe just let the table have fun and enjoy the game.

One more thing: a lot of neurodivergent players and disabled players literally can't do this, or if they CAN, it'll cut into their ability to focus on the game and they'll ONLY do this. We should be removing obstacles to play, not adding more just bc we're on a DM power trip

Bookkeeping does not bring many players or DMs joy. Additionally, if we play long enough, it is inevitable that we will make mistakes and forget things, either as a DM or a player. Perfection is unreasonable. Demanding it is cruel to everyone at the table.
