However, as I said elsewhere, mine was a joke pointing out what a common player reaction would be. Also, if the premise of a game is that aberrations invade your world, then the whole mystery aspect is out of the picture. Those things are just weird creatures that mindlessly destroy stuff for whatever reason. It doesn't matter if you say that they are embodied insanity or entropy, the moment you get to fight them, they become cannon fodder. If you plan such an invasion, and then try to remove or limit player's agency by making them almost impossible to face, or by making sure that -as the video says- player's choices don't matter at the end, I guess that D&D isn't really the game for that, and that you have to warn the players about that. We're talking about a completely different kind of game.</p></blockquote><p></p>
