With empathy and a touch of humor, they explore the dynamics of balancing in-game objectives with real-life emotions. Erica's perspective as both a player, not only in her husband's campaigns, and a Dungeon Master in her own right provides valuable insights into the ways player disconnect can be navigated and resolved.
