So a while back, everyone got mad at the creators of Obojima for saying that monsters in games should be evil. Is this an absurd sentiment for a supposedly Ghibli-inspired...

I really hate campfire debrief scenes. Does this make me a bad theatre-kid-turned-TTRPG-player? I find them awkward and aimless, and as a GM I don’t like sitting through them...
