For a game like monopoly or risk I would agree but DD is not a traditional game and the rules are as stated by the creators flexible . Making slight changes here and there in service of a better story or adventure is a good thing . But really it ' s the DM ' s game . If he wants to play a little looser and expresses that at the start , those are the terms . If he wants to play strict , then that ' s the game your playing . <| sep |> The guy writing the articleLOL , a woman wrote the article . She ' s an exfeminist and exSJW too ! <| sep |> those are crocs you noob <| sep |> He lacks the mental part of his game , letting so much get to him is hurting his performance this year . He ' s still good to great but there are too many lapses in play and judgment to think he isn ' t affected . It could have to do about what he ' s asked to do with a worse defense than the panthers a year ago , so he ' ll probably settle in eventually
