#claiming knowledge based on player reaction in the moment is a massive over assumption of your knowledge of the cast and their game

Seeing a lot of posts that seem very sure of how things will play out so casual reminder that the only people who currently know what Marisha wants in regards to Laudna are Marisha, Matt, and perhaps to some degree the other players at the table.

You do not know what she wants. You cannot say that she definitely wants things this way or that way. You have not heard the discussions she’s had with Matt and the table. Assuming you know what she wants or is going to do is parasocial as hell and when things don’t shake out the way you’ve decided she wants them to, you’re gonna feel mad at Matt for “being unfair” despite him saying that his first priority is his players enjoyment and that he talks to them and finds out what they want to do before anything else.

Chill and remember this is their game and their table, I beg of you.
