      Saul and Jolene have experienced that player that wants to direct the other players action.  In boardgames its called quarterbacking.  In the old days of Original D&D and Advanced D&D there was the Caller, who told the DM who did what to make the game go by faster.  Back in the day Saul's brother and friends did not play that way.  Once he went to a D&D club and that was exactly how they played, and for Saul is was not fun at all.
      So years later Saul and Jolene have experienced this phenomena at various tables at various times.  Saul and Jolene discuss this topic and give tips on how to deal with fellow players that want to do this in their games.  So if you have a director at your RPG table or find one in the wilds of some random RPG table, listen and see how to best deal with those situations.
     Thank you all for Listening
