When I play different games, I try to be on the side of light, so I think chaotic good is the best choice. But if it's W3, then the opinion of the ofc is changing there. However, there was a time when I was a D&D fan and even tried to memorize all the spells. It was hard back then, and I was a noob at it.
I met with a friend of mine, who I told about this article. We remembered how we played ourselves. He decided to invite his friends to play. I said I didn't remember how to play. We were at his house and he found a paper where different spells were written down, but he said that was nonsense because there are already a lot of D&D Guide on the internet that you can open on your phone and put next to you. I told him he was a fraud. Do you think it is possible to play a board game with hints or different guides?
