Player Agency, Railroading, and Making Choices Matter in Dungeons & Dragons

Have you ever been in a D&D campaign where the dungeon master railroaded you into playing the game exactly the way they thought it should be played? And did it feel good to have your freedom, your agency, taken away from you in that game of Dungeons & Dragons? The fact is, when D&D players have their player agency stolen from them by the dungeon master, those games are rarely fun. There is a reason that railroading is a much-despised thing in D&D. Players almost always dislike it when their freedom of choice, their player agency, is taken from them. In this video, I discuss player agency, railroading, and how to make the choices your players make actually matter in the game world.
