![]() I've been running Dungeons and Dragons games for decades. ![]() The DM's Roll20 Pro membership ensures that players have access to all of the extras, including D&D 5e Compendium integration, API scripts, and more.Ĭustom-designed tokens for your characters are included.Īn immersive experience that includes advanced role-play techniques, effects, and completely original game materials that aren't available anywhere else. Roll20 charges fees for the token, map, and card collections associated with each module, while the actual hardcover books and DM Guild downloads must be purchased separately. Material costs associated with running a top-shelf game are covered. The gaming experience provided by a professional DM is eminently more enjoyable than what you get in a free game. People don't abandon the group and quit the campaign when something doesn't go their way. The maturity level is exponentially higher in paid games. The small fee also ensures that everyone in the group is committed to the session. Here are some of the reasons why professionally-run paid games provide a superior experience:Ĭharging a modest per-person fee virtually eliminates player no-shows. It's a frustrating grind to go through time after time, especially when all you want to do is relax and have fun playing. Sometimes the DM doesn't show up or is unprepared. ![]() When you do get accepted, players don't show up or are unprepared. Most people endure disappointing experiences like this:Īfter spending your valuable time laboriously filling out applications, you get rejected more often than not due to the scores of people applying to play each free game. I think one beautiful thing about the ending is that what they are experiencing is just for them.Practically everyone is clamoring to get into a free game online, but there aren't nearly enough experienced DMs to satisfy the demand. As a viewer I heard only the soundtrack, and what they were saying was just for them. And we're part of an abusive society that chases away what is beautiful and transformative about love.Īlso, when I see them on the sunset beach on Jeju Island, I think of a lot of other scenes where their words to each other were private, when they're walking, when they're in nature, when they're alone togehter. But I think that the reason they seem so far away at the ending is that the drama is saying that society really treated them like crap, and so they've had to escape everything they've known, the place they lived, her family that also was a kind of family for him and his sister, her job. I wanted to see more of them being together, too. When he talks with his friend and sister, and she talks with Bo Ra, they each reveal, even unwillingly that they're still very much in love. ![]() When she stops packing up her apartment to go yell at him on that rainy night, it's to finish a lover's quarrel. Every moment of coldness, nervousness, inauthenticity, and conflict is them revealing to each other how much they still care. I think that each and every interaction between Joon Hee and Jin Ah starting with his appearance at the wedding is a dance bringing them back together. That moment when she's in the car with the businessman boyfriend and slips out of her seatbelt, out of the car, and walks out on him is like the first brick out of the dam. My impression was that her move to Jeju Island wasn't a financial decision, but that after she sees Joon Hee again, she gradually reevaluates everything in her life, sees that it's killing her, and one by one frees herself from each and every deadening element. ![]() Although with Jin Ah, I think it was also a sense that she had tried to change her life and somewhat failed after Joon Hee left - she followed through with the lawsuit (progress), but went back to having a socially acceptable boyfriend who treats her like crap (regression.) She feels that the only way to try again is to get away from her triggers that cause her to regress (break up with her boyfriend, move away from her mom, leave her job.) Seeing Joon Hee again at the wedding reminds her of her fight, even if she doesn't think she can be with him again. I think that's also why she (and Bo Ra) ultimately left the company. So he sacrificed the most visible person, but didn't do anything else. Based on how the President initially responded to the claim, and then the subsequent claims from the other women, it was clear he wasn't invested in making that kind of change. It's realistic because the sexual harassment was so entrenched in the culture of the company that the only way to really stop it would be a complete culture change with pretty drastic action coming from the top. Meaning one person (the VP) got sacrificed to show the company was doing something, but that nothing really changed within the company. I always thought she won, but (like in the real world) it was an imperfect win. ![]()
