    Is there a name for this trope of cramming really wacky, difficult, high spotlight, stuff into a game like DND that doesn’t especially support it?

    I usually feel bad because I want to encourage creativity, but I also don’t want this guy to have 80% of the table attention while Bob the Fighter and Joy the Rogue are playing by the numbers.

    Sounds like a fun idea, but I can’t imagine sitting there for an hour watching another player play for you would be all that engaging. Especially if you get a few bad coin flips in a row, oops, now you don’t get to make any decisions for 3 hours.

    So… Everyone is John? Dnd players keep reinventing the wheel and patting themselves in the back for it.
