Is that really right to request this for someone who famously authors pieces containing "An Overly Long..." in the titles?"  😛

I am SORELY tempted to write it myself in entirely hyperbolic. xD

 

Adding to this: I do plan to sit down and work out a basic guide for Dungeon Mastering (tm) or Narrating without imposing on the players permissions and agency. I'd been neglecting this subject, my apologies for that to the community and to you Spazzy.
