- Deborah Ann Woll gave Jon Bernthal an engaging introduction to Dungeons & Dragons on his podcast, explaining character creation and gameplay in a fun and accessible way.
- Woll’s approach focuses on storytelling and immersing players in the world rather than overwhelming them with character sheets and rules, making D&D more appealing to newcomers.
- The video highlights the universal appeal of D&D, where both Hollywood stars and regular players can connect and enjoy the game together.

This was a really great approach. I used to do similar, but with people who were already players. One of my friends in high school would constantly want to be role playing. At a band concert? Let’s play a scene. Between classes? Another scene. 10 extra minutes at lunch? Time for a scene. After my other players found out he was doing this, they would find me for bonus role playing too.
Now I own an LGS, and I still give this a try next time someone asks me about d&d or other rpg.

This is just so wrong. English dictionaries are descriptive: they describe how the language is being used.
In 1961 people like you threw a fit that "ain't" was added to Webster's, despite its first known use over 200 years earlier.
English has no ultimate arbiter of "proper" use; it changes as people use it and dictionaries are a reference for how it is being used, not how it ought to be used.
Language is a living, changing thing. It doesn't matter how many grammar nazis oppose the changes, if enough people start using a word or phrase in a different way, that becomes the "right" way to use the word/phrase. "Nice" used to mean foolish, "meat" once meant food in general, and in my lifetime "gay" went from "happy" to "homosexual".
If you can't accept that language changes, you're gonna have a bad time.

They just called the 5e charactersheet "overwhelming" wuth its, like, 8 numbers on it, and suggested players don't need to know pesky things like "rules", but you're going off on dice?
