But to D&D, themes don’t matter to a story. Which is basically the equivalent of a contractor saying that a house’s foundation doesn’t matter, as long as it looks like a house in the end. If there’s no focus on themes, a story just becomes that meaningless list of “things that happen,” because there’s no longer an overarching point. And if all that matters are the “plot points,” then there similarly can’t be a focus on characterizations or context.
I read this quote in an article that is simply brilliant, in my view. This is the link to the whole article because I truly belive every single sentence there is worth reading. I can only say yes to everything said in it.
