The Illusion of Nobility in D&D

Nobles in D&D look the part, the castles, the titles, the signet rings. The problem isn't the system. We just never build anything underneath the surface. Today we fix that. We dig into why feudal power actually worked the way it did, what your Duke should really represent, and how to make noble PCs feel like they carry genuine weight at the table without derailing your campaign. 🎙️ This video is sponsored by Dscryb — an ENNIE award-winning TTRPG publisher packed with read-aloud text, battlemaps, and film-quality audio for your sessions.
