Solid work, keep creating brother. Ravenloft is dope 👍

Good topic. I think that one of the big differences between the newer style of game/play, and the older style, in where the focus lies. In older games the rules, the settings and differences between character types were the sources of challenges that needed to be met, and obstacles that needed to be overcome. Character mattered to the extent that it helped fill out the players' shared picture of how the rules, the setting, and the adventure fit together. In today's games all the players can do pretty much everything, and the setting only matters to the extent that it provides more ways for players to talk about themselves through the identity of their characters. Challenges are probably not going to be deadly, and are just protracted opportunities for players to talk about their character's thoughts, abilities, and personal "story."

Absolutely 💯 spot-on! Glad to see you finally got this posted, Brother! Couldn't agree with all these more... and I've run new school for several years as well, so I can speak from experience! "More about the adventure and less about the mechanics "indeed!! 👊🤓🔥 "Sure, you can certainly try." 🎲😎

@@retrodmray yeah, I'm gonna have to play around with OBS settings. It does not like the new wifi at all lol. Something I forgot to write down was the tension, but I'll have another subject for the next one at least.
