Sounds perfect 🤩

These are very pretty!

I actually roll my dice even when I play online. Dice should be rolled 🥺

Definitely fits a barbarian in general 😂

One of my favourite real example of this…

My players were trying to track and whilst each tried a unique approach to give them a roll (survival, investigation, nature etc) they ALL rolled NAT 1’s.

My response: “congratulations everybody, you are outside”

My advice would be to consider “WHAT KIND of person do I want to play?”

Start there, not with traumatic backstories but with personalities.

#dnd #d&d #dungeonsanddragons

I think players forget they can be a “normal” person, like they have to have a major backstory.

It’s great when you do, but equally great when you don’t overcomplicate things and instead consider “how would my happy-go-lucky react in f*ed situations?”

Next time your PC says “can I have amnesia” find a fun and creative misdirection for them to uncover. Like making out they’re evil!

Or maybe… you do make them a baddie. 😈 As then how fun to contradict their current hero lifestyle!

When actually he ran a vigilante group determined to take down the slave trading circle.

The shady notes were from his agents with intel and looking for his next orders. 👀

He LOVED uncovering that mystery, and the emotional rollercoaster.

Oooooooh but this sounds lovely! I’d definitely be interested. What’s the premise of your mini?

Of course, for the absolute newbies I give at least some basic suggestions.

“Here’s the setting, now what would you like to do. You could shop and restock, you could scope out an area….” But the agency very much falls on them.

And honestly some of the BEST moments we’ve had in my sessions have come out of my players needing to just say *something*.

The imagination of your players could just blow you away. So give them the agency to try it!

Ooooh it is juicy! I definitely want to use this *one day*.

(Hi, it’s me, always the GM, never the player.)

Ooh and I also like when the characters step up outside of the comfort zones… sometimes that makes for the most meaningful role play!

Oh wow this is awesome!

Yay thank you! And yessss. I’m imagining that too; determined to find the people they lost with endless hope! Another layer could be “but why not me”. The obvious answer is proximity, they weren’t there at the time. But the survivor guilt!!! (And then what if there is a reason they’re left behind!)

So your character sets out to uncover that mystery (set by the GM).

There’s still depth to your character because imagine a compassionate moral compass who’s terrible at adventuring - and yearning for their friends and family.

My current character has lightning based arcana so I’m thinking a Nat20 could be a dirty guitar riff from “Thunderstruck” AC/DC.

She also has a pet so a Nat1 would be the Puss In Boots 🥺 face.
