An excellent overview of DDD concepts, drawing parallels between DDD and D&D.

I mean, you're at a software development conference, so I suppose it's a pretty safe assumption that a fair part of the audience understands the basic mechanics of D&D, but I still feel called out! 😅

Clever choice of example to use to explain DDD, definitely made it more engaging. You ended up using a (mostly) shared language to explain using shared language. Speaking volume was a little low at times though, especially with the AC running near the back.

This is timely as my $dayJob team is trying to wrangle our existing system into DDD-land right now. I'll be linking them the slides as soon as they're up, as this presentation was solid and digestible.
