"This totally isn't based on my worst anxieties about my DM style. Nope, no sir, no ma'am. Just a perfectly ordinary fictional rant from a fictional player in a fictional game with no basis in reality whatsoever."

Transcript:

DM: So what’s going wrong?
Twilight Sparkle: Well…It feels like a million little problems combining into one enormous problem. There’s been a lot of exposition on the setting, but I keep needing to ask questions because nothing has really been explained. The stakes seem too low to get anyone’s personal interest but mine, yet are being played up so high for the others that they’re having moral dilemmas about not participating. Nobody talks to the NPCs because they’ve got burned by a bad one, and subsequently, the DM hasn’t bothered to make any new ones to avoid scaring them off again. I had to go to a library to learn about the school because there’s no one in it to talk to! And there’s a pretty definite rail, but it doesn’t seem to be going anywhere.
DM: Wow. You picked up on all of that?
Twilight Sparkle: No, I’m just making a wild guess based on nothing.
