murph has had discussions on mic about how players can have fun but need to be grounded enough to avoid becoming cartoon characters. meanwhile on rude tales, player carlee monardo recently described DM branson reese's style of interaction as "bugs bunny with a gun." both styles are valid & both podcasts are good but i know which i prefer

Awkward Davies posted:I think NADDPOD and D20 have a nice balance of being funny, respecting the rules, and actually wanting to play D&D. The thing that gets me about Dungeons and Daddies and Rude Tales is that there’s this underlying current of “Ugh D&D is stupid”. Which, fine, but then why even pretend? Daddies is especially frustrating because it feels like their lack of understanding of the rules can result in a less interesting story. The rules are there to provide guidelines. Guidelines give you direction, a space to play in, and allow the dice to help tell the story. Knowing the rules helps you, and it started to feel like they were missing opportunities because they don’t know them. I also feel like Daddies is just a bunch of guys going “NO, WHAT HAPPENS IS…” (I feel like Beth is better about not doing that). yeah ive come to strongly dislike d&d as a platform even before considering all the gross poo poo wizards does as a company which endears me specifically + permanently to the rude tales crew, but naddpod do a lot within the confines of "the rules" while having about 85% as much fun. caldwell really ran with it when he guested on rtom
