my biggest beef with d&d (beyond hasbro being hasbro) genuinely is just that like. it's not... easy or even Feels Good to run without a lot of legwork. Like a lot. It puts so much on a DM in a way that is like. Straight up unsustainable for 99% of people. It's not surprising that people can't find a DM. Nobody wants to DM because d&d makes it so goddamn difficult and it doesnt have any really Good methods of player contribution in a way that can reasonably lessen that burden due to the structure of the game. tl;dr theres a reason I refuse to run d&d games over indies anymore, and also bribe your DM, they fucking deserve it. They are putting in overtime for you. Buy them a fucking pizza.

But man #d&d's greatest sin is having zero understanding of how to organize information efficiently #time out ★ { ooc. }#tbd #in case you're wondering my stream of consciousness is like 99% game design thoughts every day
