PnP DM vs Arelith DM, but Your Impression Edition

Post by Kenji » Sat Mar 16, 2019 1:29 am

I believe that being a PnP DM is fundamentally different than that of being an Arelith DM. Of course, I could be wrong!

But before you post anything, especially if you have the experience of being both types of DM, let those who don't have the experience of being either one or neither of DMs have their say!

I'll start:
PnP DMs: Cat herders

Arelith DMs: Babysitters

DMs in players' minds: Omnipotent watchers in the skies


Feel free to go into lengths of what they are on your mind, or what they actually are (for the actual DMs)

This is absolutely astonishing, in that my personal suggestion would be the total removal of the mechanical slavery system.
