That is not agency. And that is the problem nowadays because the word has been corrupted. Freedom has been corrupted in the same way...

No. In a game, you do have to work to have the kind of agency we have now but it is not about knowledge or ability to change the...

I think most of the good from cantrips could be illustrated by a single spell. You cast the spell and for 24 hours you get these...

All the PCs that ignored formation in my games died. Formation in D&D was fundamental at 1e. When they essentially went to the "run...

It is a judgment call but it's a DM judgment call. We all have different players. Your way fits for you so go for it. My way fits for...
