  • I’m someone who started playing D&D under the slightly toxic railroad dynamic and when I spotted it I hated it. It’s hat mentality that tells players that they shouldn’t learn to GM lest they find out how the sausage is made so you’d never enjoy playing TTRPG’s again! When I went online to figure out if I was wrong to reject this the most common answer I’d see was “In traditional RPGs you need to have high trust in your GM that they are railroading you for the right reasons”.

    I find it ironic that here “High Trust” is used to mean the opposite of all that bad advice to open myself to High Trust that I received way back.
