We need to talk about Player Agency (D&D / TTRPG)

Hi game masters! Winnifred and I don't always see eye to eye, so sometimes, we duke it out in the Void. This time, she didn't agree with my thoughts on player agency. This one is a bit of an experiment, a new format I'm wanting to test out, but don't worry, the regular style of videos isn't going away ;) -------------------- Sometimes I write adventures, you can find them for free here: https://corkboardsandcurio.wixsite.co... https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse.p...
