For the remainder of the article I will assume the reader is familiar with the previous two articles, so I would suggest reading those first if you have yet to do so. All of these ideas are covered in depth in the previous two articles in the series, and so I do not focus on them here. Player hindrances are instances in which the player’s actions are disrupted, forcing the player to fail where they otherwise likely could have succeeded. Player aids are instances in which the player is assisted in accomplishing tasks that she potentially could not accomplish without assistance.
