1:35:13on the rails, no going off track
1:35:15Railroading - in DnD is GM trying to lead you into an event they want to happen.
1:35:16Throwing players on the track of the campaign plot so they know what to do
1:35:17rail roading is like when you want to do one thing, but the game/DM forces you to do a specific path
1:35:18It means you absolutely take control of the situation no matter the complaints
1:35:22never go for more than 6 players. n e v e r .
1:35:22you just follow the path on the train
1:35:25Like I said the best DM's utilize "Yes, And" and maybe sometimes the "No, But" Methods.
1:35:27a train doesn't decide where it gets to go
1:35:29Lady Malice you interested in becoming DM?
1:35:31there is a social contract that is mandatory for the game to work, which is you follow the DMs clues
1:35:31you are writing a story not playing a game with others
1:35:32it means you CANNOT going off tangent

1:35:42"yes and" is cringe and for bad DMs
1:35:46good DMs probably let players have freedom but keep the trolling in check (by ingame consqeuqences or whatever)

1:35:52In a 12 players group like this, I wouldn't blame the DM taking control of the situation no questions asked lol

1:36:03@ninjatango Yes and is useful as long as you also use No but
1:36:05But yeah that's far too many players, you'd get lost.

1:36:20the best DMs don't care about either
1:36:21this is a good source of imfo
1:36:23The character sheet video is the best tutorial video I've found for 5e.
