Ah, Player Agency, we love it in our D&D, or other tabletop roleplaying games, but, even more, we love to talk about it (especially in the OSR and NSR spaces), even though we almost never talk about it in a useful way. Can we shift the conversation to actually consider the actual useful, practical bits? I’m not sure but that doesn’t mean we can’t try!
