Listening to the post-s1 Talking Dads, and I swear Brennan Lee Mulligan needs to come into contact with Anthony Burch. They need to both be waiting on a crosswalk and Anthony can sigh wistfully about how he never asks players what they imagine as the long-term arcs for characters because he 'is actively playing against them'. I whole-heartedly think Brennan "I believe in railroading players to allow characters to grow in the directions I as DM and the player see fit while keeping the game interesting" Lee Mulligan could advise on the kayfabe.

It is just so obvious that they are operating off a false understanding/self-imposed rule about how D&D is supposed to work that doesn't actually help storytelling and DM-player satisfaction. Like, idk guys! I feel like you can talk about intentions without ruining anything. It's not like Dimension 20 is suffering under Brennan's approach to storytelling. He has a whole podcast about it.

#dndads #dndads critical #the disclaimer that Brennan owes no one anything #I just listen to his interviews and wonder what would happen if Anthony and he spoke #I know Freddie knows/is acquaintances w Brennan and has discussed dnd with him #I just feel like Anthony and co were operating under a self-imposed rule that left Anthony at minimum unhappy #bc Anthony explicitly was saying how unhappy he was with s1's ending #and Matt was going 'Darryl had no arc haha but that's dnd :).'#like no it's not #where are you getting that from? no it's not #not listening to s2 + don't care to discuss s2 #but based on Anthony's self-flaggelation it doesn't have to be this way dude #you can cool off and talk to your friends about what they want #you can feel like you are making narrative progress in a productive way as the backbone #and let them goof throughout wo getting frustrated at yourself #also Anthony get your bpd treated the suicide jokes aren't great expressions of those feelings okay?#I don't need to be unintentionally finding the /public reddit posts/ about how you feel + s2 listening friends commenting on the s2 #DMing doesn't have to be agony dude you haven't done anything horrible enough to justify these feelings #least of all in public with teenagers listening jesus #got distracted but anyway
