Allowing Creative Solutions: How to Relinquish Creative Control for D&D Obstacles and Puzzles
How to Be a Better DM: Dungeon Master Tips for the DM Newbie, the Hobbyist and the Forever DM
Empowering Players to Find Creative Solutions
This chapter discusses the importance of allowing players to be creative in finding solutions to obstacles and puzzles in Dungeons and Dragons (D&D). The speaker emphasizes the need for Dungeon Masters (DMs) to focus on creating quality obstacles and puzzles, while leaving the solution finding to the players. They provide examples of different ways players could approach obstacles, such as a wizard teleporting or reshaping a door, a druid finding a crack for a weasel to slip through, or a cleric communicating with the dead to solve a riddle on a door. By giving each player a chance to operate creatively, the players will feel empowered and excited for future obstacles.
