That makes sense. I don’t think there’s been a moment like that in the podcast, the DM keeps expectations in check.

I’m a casual D&D fan since my only exposure is from Not Another D&D Podcast but I think it adds to the overall story telling experience. Super charges the lows and highs if it’s a 1 or 20 especially on an important role. Does it break the game? Eh, not that I can tell and I’ve listened to hundreds of hours of the podcast. Though this is my opinion and not based on D&D rules, history, etc.

I also highly recommend Not Another D&D Podcast if you like silly shit mixed with crass humor, some good emotional content, and players fucking with their DM.
