Thanks to everyone who weighed in on the difficult parts of playing D&D online in our Discord chat!! This was an interesting video to make, because some of the things I talk about here, my own group is still trying to figure out. If anything, I think it's just a good reminder that having a really strong table dynamic takes work and time — you really have to put some energy into it!
