But that goes back to whether or not someone wants monsters to just fill a narrative role and did minions fill that role. If I want a...

Weren't people telling me earlier that minion mechanics weren't about narrative, but were instead Gamist in nature? Or were you not in...

Next up you’ll tell me player agency is easy to define. I’ve been to that rodeo before.
