I just remembered that we did the Key Art animation and scene transition of our demo trailer in Unity. 🤣
Mainly because I don't know how to use any of those fancy editing softwares.💀😭
Anyone else use this forbidden technique for their trailers?👻👹

Vexcell's demo now has a *positive* rating on steam!!! (rather than being unrated)
Thank you so much to everyone who has played and reviewed!

This is a hard issue with no good answer.
This pricing makes Silksong more accessible more easily to more players. I think that is a good thing.
Then again, your point is very much valid.

When a player suggests something that exists beyond the logic and physics of a story, the dm pushes them towards reasonability.
When they suggest something stupid, or risky, or ridiculous- but maybe, just maybe, it will work? We submit ourselves to the will of the dice.
A 20 is a success.
</rant>
Being a DM often requires coaxing players from the realm of impossibility into the realm of improbability.
D&D flattens the curve of possibility- something that is impossible *is* impossible, but something that is nearly impossible (almost) always has a 5% chance of working.
Ok in all seriousness- here are my thoughts on this.
There are several nuances you could be pointing out here. No, a natural 20 does not permit the impossible. But neither should a dm! If an action would not succeed on a natural 20, I don't believe it should be an available option.
:(
