The Crimson Binome
Hero
The rules were clunky and unpolished, but the message was on point: This is a game about playing a role. While there will certainly be obstacles to overcome, the DM isn't your enemy; they're just doing their job, of portraying the world in a fair and realistic manner. Monster exist primarily within an ecology, and are part of how the world works. This isn't just a game, for you to win by getting the treasure. In fact, thinking of it as a game is entirely the wrong approach. The only thing you need to worry about, as a player, is portraying your own character.
