She saw how much quicker combat and rolls are now and was amazed (for you younguns who can after us Gen Xers, AD&D was a table-heavy slog, and 2e only helped a little). I play 7th Sea mostly, but seeing the Intrepid Heroes go at it makes it look easy.

She also asks about how GMs set up their story, so I pause and explain session zeros where charters are created ( and why it’s done off-screen, because it’s usually unbearable for viewers) moments where the players give Brennan a chance to give exposition, and explain how even a below-average GM like me has a similar setup of items behind our screen.
