And so to try to answer them through a game, it's, it's fine to try to answer them through a game, but it's not right to debate them through a game.

I want to know what your character is thinking as they do it, as opposed to what would they do because you've put this tag on them.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I have gone through enough education and through enough experience with storytelling that that sort of cut and dry thing is the least interesting part of a character's story. And like you said, it was a tool that was put in place. And it can be fun, right? The memes are funny. The little charts with the people. Batman is all alignments, right? The pizza topping, right? Whatever. The toast. Right.

But you need... you need to look beyond that tool to better tools that have been created by other games to do the same thing, to talk about tough moral dilemmas without saying good and evil. Because there's so many shades of gray in there that you need to drill in on what that character's story is.

So thank you for the question and thank you for the comments to both of you to help us sort of get through that question. And we have another question via LuckWhisker coming to us via YouTube again.

So in light of the Sigil conversation, that's the virtual tabletop that Wizards has been showing off, I would be interested in hearing more of your perspective about using digital tools, especially at the table. Have either of you played in many online games?

When you play in person, do you or your players have laptops open to use D&D Beyond and other tools like character sheet managers, VTTs, etc.? As DMs, what are your preferred tools for battle maps at the table? Dry erase, paper, minis, theater of the mind? And how does this experience affect your thinking about the way Sigil is likely to be received by the community?

Will you use it in your own games?

Will you use it in your own games?

yeah so for me there's two questions here there's the tools conversation of how do you digitally use uh these tools to make play better and it is for me it's i like dnd beyond i also like a character sheet in front of me i can do both and i try not to tell people this is how you should or this is how you have to because who knows what their situation is um So in that way, use what's best for you.

In terms of presentation of the game, this is what I used last time. I am showing a big, gorgeous battle map.
