Episode notes
Trust D&D Carrying Rules
- Goblins can carry more weight than expected based on their strength and carrying capacity rules in D&D.
- Trust the game's mechanics to settle in-table disputes about logistics rather than having heated arguments.
Encourage Direct Life Conversations
- Players dealing with real-life sensitive issues should have open communication outside the game.
- The DM should avoid being the messenger and encourage direct conversations to prevent table conflict.
Balance Rules with Storytelling
- Use rules as a guide but apply reasoning when animals or unusual situations intervene in the game.
- Avoid overly literal interpretations of magical effects that disrupt narrative flow or player agency.
