This is the type of play he’s talking about “how they played” because it’s likely something that had never even crossed his mind. But he isn’t actually claiming that this is how everyone used to play D&D. He’s really just amazed by the discovery that this is how anyone used to play D&D, and sharing that discovery with his audience of other people who probably never even conceived of play like this being a possibility.Again, I don’t think he’s claiming everyone did this. The idea that anyone did is pretty revelatory for people who have only ever been exposed to D&D being played with regular groups of 4-6 meeting weekly to play an ongoing story starring a consistent cast of characters.When the claim you think he’s making is obviously impossible (how could everyone have played this way if no one knew it was a rule?) I think it may be a good idea to consider that you’ve misinterpreted his claim, rather than that he’s just an idiot.</blockquote>
