You should never support the scumbags at Hasbro/WOTC if you are into tabletop games

I think that statement massively downplays the amount of work a DM puts in behind the scenes to create the world.

I'd rather build a world together.

[-] GetOffMyLan@programming.dev 1 points 2 weeks ago

Absolutely. But you are still downplaying the amount of prep a DM has to do to make it playable and fleshed out.

Maybe it's just my preference. I'm not doubting DMs out forth the bulk of the effort or anything, and I'm thankful for all who have served. (I say that tongue in cheek but not sarcastically lol, it is a big commitment.) But I think the Lazy DM approach is better and I also really enjoy collaborating about lore.

Edit: forgot a link, Lazy DM is a series of books https://slyflourish.com/lazydm/
