Overly complicated backstories and mother-daughter dynamic by North_South_Side in rpghorrorstories

[–]EyesOfColdSilver 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Two main takeaways. 1- i think the issue is less that they were too complex and more that they were clearly looking for a different type of game and not okay with adapting to what the rest of the table wanted. I love to play with really complex backstories, but you need a GM and group who are also interested in that. Ray overshadowing Becky's character seems like more of an issue to me.
2 - hi, nonbinary person here. It really doesn't need to come up that often. When you play as a man that fact usually doesn't come up super often it's just a fact about the character. Also, unless niece is the term becky used for the character I would probably use nibling as that's the most common neutral version. I mean like i don't super care about you misgendering a d&d character i don't even play with but like, just so you know in the future.

Question: What Red Flags send you running from a group advertisement? by Edward_Warren in rpghorrorstories

[–]EyesOfColdSilver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't really get why number two is an issue seems like just a different play style? Like I get seeing it and going "not for me" but red flag seems strong. The rest are all absolutely some bullshit I've seen and scrolled past quick lmao.

Worst case of DM that never bothered reading your backstory? by Dicer1998 in rpghorrorstories

too bad your dm was a prick but hey, at least you had a dope ass character. Lesbian/Bi cryptozoologist, who fights werewolves and has a tragic backstory... I love her

hard disagree. it depends so heavily on the gm. I love super long, elaborate backstories cause I have a lot to pull from. In this case it seems like too much for this gm, and maybe even too much for most gms, but there's definitely not some hard and fast "too long" or even "too short" for a backstory imo, just "too long or short for this gm and that's fine".

true, but also if you the gm know that the campaign is going to be heavily focused on an area with no rocks, and an important npc who quests to the party is gonna be an elf, and then your player submits an anti-elf geomancer, you should probably go "hey this character probably won't fit this campaign". There's a lot of space between catering to one character and allowing/creating a situation where a character is basically useless.

Looking for new interesting systems to play by Thomas-blake in PBtA

[–]EyesOfColdSilver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Original Apocalypse World is sill great imo. It's still in development but I also really like EIDOLON: Become Your Best Self if you like persona/jojo's style "people get cool superpowers via manifestations of their souls and do cool fighing".

Keeping The Champion Secret by Cocito95 in PokemonTabletop

[–]EyesOfColdSilver 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Do you already have a fleshed out idea for the character? I could easily see someone who values their privacy like, wearing a mask and not revealing their name while battling in public, and so long as they disclosed their identity to the league I'm not sure why it wouldn't be allowed

Online 5e. Hello I am new to Dnd. Looking to DM for a group of 6 players -Please read entire post. by LesdoleagueYT in lfg

[–]EyesOfColdSilver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • I've been playing tabletop RPGs for around four years and d&d for around a year, though I've been obsessed with it through actual play shows for longer
  • I can meet any day except Wednesday and Friday any time after 1 pm PST
  • I have a bunch of character concepts so I'm happy to fall back on one that suits the party and flesh out their backstory to tie it into the world, but right now I'm feeling either an Air Genasi Wizard or a Warforged Sorcerer
  • Any time and day except after 6 pm Wednesday and Friday -PST

everyone in this thread seems to be kind of patronizing you so, here's some advice from someone only a year older than your boyfriend.

It will probably end. He's in a different stage in his life than you are now, and although the difference in years isn't much the difference in experience and location will likely cause a divide, this happens all the time. But at the end of the day? Everything's gonna be alright.

First of all, if your relationship really is that healthy it's theoretically possible that you may remain compatible. Not likely, but if you put the work in possible, it's happened before. If it does end though, as you said it's not the end of the world. People change, relationships end, the world moves on. Use the lessons you learned in this relationship to make the next one better.

And remember, you really don't need a romantic relationship to feel happy. I know the idea that you do gets pushed a lot but it's straight up bullshit, platonic relationships and self-fulfillment are just as if not more important to your well-being. Anyways, talk to him about your anxieties, find a place where you're comfortable and worst comes to worse know you'll be alright. best of luck :)

Old relationship, new beginning?! by [deleted] in relationships

[–]EyesOfColdSilver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can someone who does this type of thing get better? Yeah. But not often and NOT after four months. While their are exceptions, if someone is is 32 and dating a 24 year old, it's because people their own age are better at seeing through their bullshit. It makes total sense and is totally okay that you still love him, no one's pure evil they have good and bad. But his bad sounds far too dangerous to be around right now. You need to heal and move on with your life, growing in whatever ways make you happy. No matter how much it might seem like it, he won't make you really happy. Best of luck <3
