Here is another great Mike Mearls D&D Quote

We really wanted to think about it “What would a rational person want from a Demon Lord”. So we had some these ideas like you could take Orcus well  he is the Demon Prince of Undeath–he wants to kill everything and make it undead. What rational person would worship that or follow him. Or things like Demogorgon where it is like the pure rage if you want strength and power unlock that madness within you and destroy everything that stands in front of you “I will give you that strength”…or “we”…since Demogorgon has two heads.

Living at risk is jumping off the cliff and building your wings on the way down

From a creativity standpoint, the fact that everyone is always reflexively going to their phone and checking it means that you don’t get bored. And basically your creativity is born of boredom. So your brain starts to connect things that they wouldn’t connect normally.

Taken from the Gaming the Brain episode of Takei’s Take.

No one is ever fanatically devoted to something they have complete confidence in. No one is fanatically shouting that the sun is going to rise tomorrow. They *know* it is. Whenever someone is fanatically devoted to a set of beliefs or dogmas or goals, it is only because those beliefs or goals are in doubt.

I think part of the reason might be because most of them are semi-new and don’t realize that there’s D&D in every direction, no matter what they decide to do.

Over-explanation separates us from astonishment. –
