      I love this comment because unless you play multiplayer, Tav/Player automatically has everyone on board with a single plan of action. Tav has to be the strategist because the Player places everyone on the board themselves. It also makes sense for “why” the origin characters would be deferring to Tav in a leadership position. Great way of putting it into words!

      It's actually a very smart narrative choice. A way to put the companions cast front and center while emphasising that Tav does exist in this iteration and therefore none of the six companions are the leader and they are all of equal importance. Balances them out while also benching the questions of "what is Tav doing".

Some strange things also like letting them role to intimidate the darkness.. get its a stage show but its not a master class in Dming for new players.
      Then when they do its like hes worried about losing the spot light and interrupts with childish comments like "holy super soakers" breaking any immersion. Don't do that to your players ever.
      Describing AC to players finally only once they are being attacked by him.. does not refer to it as Armour Class but calls it anything but. Don't know why the DM is annoying me so much.
      The cast are AMAZING though and did well with him as their DM.
      55:12 hes just making rules, it does not cost you extra movement to pass through an ally's space. Enemies have to be 2 sizes larger and then its difficult terrain or use a Tumble.
      DM is terrible for new players learning the game.
      Straight after hes making skill checks to add bonus to attack rolls for jumping off people... This is not D&D5e but some random messy homebrew. To be fair to other players he needs to keep that rule in place, id be dash kipping off stuff every turn after that thinking its a table top move like the Larion weapons.
      The player described something well and as a DM if you want to reward it and keep pace don't give them a skill check to fail, just say awesome description, you get Advantage from the elevated position.
      Around 1:27:00 lets Laz cleave without Great Weapon Master feat also... Dont give players feats they do not have. it undermines those who took them as choices and you have to keep it up for everyone else. Not even gonna talk about it hitting Wyll or how that would make a player feel being sat doing nothing for so long to be removed by DM nonsense.
      End of 1st session. Sure they are time constrained again its a show, not a real game. But the appearance of the DM npc to end the encounter with a sentence, meaning nothing had any impact of player urgency is disrespectful to the players and then to have wyll waste time making a death save when everyone is now safe was pointless.
      Again get he's understress but hes so back and forth. Like after the narrator leaves at the start of Act 2, he shuts the party down, no more checks, you know everything, thats all your getting.. then at 2:11:50 ish he full backtracks and starts offering out information checks as the party have no direction.
      Total nonsense.

      This one in particular was just a fun mess around, 1 shot session, organised by Larion. Mark is under immense time restraints, and the party don't know what they're doing, excluding Neil. This isn't an introduction into DnD, or a tutorial. He's guiding them to where he needs them within his time limit, for the content.
