I don't know if you guys know what it's like to be a woman in the world, but that is not the right attitude to strangers. Anyway, so let's actually talk about the Dungeon Masters, guys. We've been talking about it a lot because we've seen so many previews and so much stuff, but I've not actually read through the book and had a copy.
So what are your thoughts as somebody who actually has got their copy?
Yeah. Or they want new people to have that expectation.
Right.
I mean, that's definitely how I learned as well. Like I joined a role-playing club and that's when I started playing. But notice I played for about a decade before I even attempted to start running games. But I think actually there's a lot of people that do. If they're not part of an RPG community at all and it's a bunch of like four friends that's like, I want to start trying this.
I know a lot of people that someone's just been tagged it to run a game and has had to figure it out. So I think there are some people that actually... There you go. Eleven?
But I do think there are some people that come to it still now, which seems strange because there's so much media and there is like actual plays and you've got references on like Stranger Things where people can like see and like... But I think there are some people that just are a group of friends like, I don't know, we'll figure this out.
And for some Dungeon Masters, that book will actually be their first introduction and... guide that feels a bit twisted like that, but that'll be their main guide. How do I do this? How do I figure this out?
Yeah, I think that's a really good point. I think maybe all of us have been at a table with a GM who has their world and their story and someone tries to add to it. They're like, oh, well, I want my person to be from here. And let's say that they had this culture where this happened and the GM was like, no, I don't want that. It's like, oh, and that immediately makes the table vibe be like,
I had a friend come to that conclusion. They were writing a role-playing game and they're like, oh man, but it's just, I don't, I just want to like control and do this myself. And it's like, I realized I want to write a book.
Right. So not legally, not legally.
It was a written online thing. We had a look at what was currently there in the 2014 one, I think.
I can see us jumping into next week's topic. Shall we save some of these?
Shall I call time on this week's topic? Because we're here talking about the DMG. I feel that we've done that.
And we know we've got plenty we want to talk about next week.
Thanks a lot, everyone.
