Did TTRPG Live Play's Change How Players See Monsters?

In this episode of The Hermit’s Homebrew, Nathan and Brent aka Langeministudio discuss whether modern D&D players have started treating monsters less like monsters and more like moral conundrums, using night hags, orcs, The Witcher, Critical Role-style live play, and old-school Dungeons & Dragons as examples. They also dig into why D&D still needs evil creatures, clear villains, heroic stakes, and room for every table to decide how morally complex their monsters should be.
