One thing I ABSOLUTELY love about Aabria / @quiddie as a DM?

She, very much, makes it a point that she as a DM will not tell you how to feel. She will describe the atmosphere and the environment, but she will not take away your agency to feel.

And I fucks with that.

Yeeesss. I don't like it when DMs tell me how my character feels. Tell me what I see and hear, and I'll decide that! I promise I'll lean into the mood when it counts.

What about when something inflicts a sense of dread upon you? The only time I want a DM to tell me how I feel is when it's mechanical—frightened, charmed into hysterical fits of laughter, etc.

Outside of that, I prefer to handle that myself! I'm not going to get mad at anyone about it, but I want to choose how my character reacts.
