DungeonCast School vs Gygax School.

One comes from the influence of tabletop streams that focus on narrative building because it's got a broader audience appeal and they're usually close friends with the players at the table and want to hype up their characters.

The other comes from the generational trauma Gary Gygax inflicted on nerdom by insisting that the DM wins by killing all the PCs.
