"There are DMs who are like, ‘F**k it, this is imagination-land; I will wing all of this.’ But I am not one of those people."

"It’s never bad to have moments where you’re reminded that this isn't a game where you have a better experience if you succeed all the time"

Our players' exact words were ‘omg dms fudge their rolls’ followed by ‘i feel… / betrayed…’

We have different approaches. You're very much a ‘I will put in hours of work’ type DM; I’m a bit more like, ‘There’s a sheet, off you go.'

"I wouldn’t want the focus of this moment to be, ‘Do we have enough money?’ Dying is bad enough anyway."

"My character’s en route to becoming a villain in the main campaign."

"If you’ve sacrificed a whole level into a particular class in order to get a mount, it should be better than any old horse you buy."

"Oh, we don’t want to fight the necromancer in his dark tower. We’re going to wait til he goes shopping."

"My only rule is: ‘Does it match my aesthetic?’"

"If we do the wrong thing, it could knock everything in the world off-kilter."

"I want to check with my players that I’ve understood things without being so obvious as to ask, ‘Which one of you took the cursed object?’"

"Though I like to maintain the illusion of choice."

"I don’t think the organisers of the con were prepared for how many Critical Role fans would descend on them."

"It was a little awkward. I killed the dating conversation."

"I think we can assume our archer is proficient with longbows."
