For some reason the Insta algo has been showing me little clips (everything is little clips on Insta, I don't know why I have to clarify that they're short form video things) of D&D related content.
I do not play D&D but I live in a D&D Adjacent world where I know people who do this, have read books where D&D knowledge is useful to understanding the plot mechanics, and am somewhat familiar with the genre as a whole. Like, I know there are dice and elements of randomness and there's a DM and there are player characters and so forth, like, it's a narrative worldbuilding thing where everybody kinda does theater only without costumes and blocking and rehearsals. It's... fantasy improv storytelling with dice, kinda?
Right, so I'm coming to these little clip videos from this perspective.
