Magical Athlete brings up some interesting questions about the need for player agency in games (or the lack thereof). I wrote about it last year at Skeleton Code Machine: www.skeletoncodemachine.com/p/magical-at...

The most dangerous choice at my table isn’t “attack.”
It’s “what if we don’t?”
That’s where stories start breathing.
If you love that idea, check out my latest blog post:

One of the hardest pieces of #fiction to work with especially in a #TTRPG I've found is time, time magic, #chronomancy. It's given me a riveting set of #characterconflict but it also has a high risk of dismembering #playeragency. It feels like driving a cliffside road in Yellowstone. #DnD #GM #AU

One of the best GM moves I ever made?
Asking, “What do you need from this scene emotionally?”
Try it. You’ll be surprised what players say.

This was a thought provoking and entertaining discussion on Player Agency. I'm gonna check out more of her vids.
Fostering trust between players and GMs allows these types of tools to safely be used during session.

Listened to this episode yesterday and have been ruminating on what Ben and Gaz had to say all day. There is a lot to unpack and digest.
I'm going to sum it up as: "maybe not the advice you want but probably the advice you need"
As always, ymmv, though.
