Railroading Vs Player Agency! Maybe We Were Wrong?
Channel: Elder Goblin Games
Date: 2024-03-24

I wanted to dissect a term that get's over used today: Railroading.
If you ask any GM you know that's run games of D&D or any TTRPG what they think is one of the major issues in the hobby, 'railroading your players' is often an answer you'll receive. But what if I told you it's often okay to railroad the game?
Join me as I discuss why I think this terminology has been misconstrued and used as a cudgel when in reality, it's not as bad as we think.
