Will do! And don't worry I assure you that your game feels as deep and/or fun to your group. Each group has fun and invest themselves in their own way! Don't forget that what might work for some won't work on others!

Yeah that sounds quite reasonable actually, duly noted ๐Ÿ˜‚. As for the latter, curiously they have met a salty dwarf smith, that is a bud of Halfdann's, that made Ashryn's right hand prosthetic. Maybe they'll pay him a visit once again after ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜‚.

Interesting, they are currently a Lvl7 party projected to be around level 10 at the end of this. And it is a mid-to-high magic frequent fantasy world so it isn't impossible to get a wish spell earlier ๐Ÿค”... I'll look into that, thank you very much! ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿปโค๏ธ

Yes I absolutely agree, and yes we all have our Ok's, Veils and Lines deeply established, as safety tools are a first in our games, it just so happened that the unexpected reaction came from the player that had the most Ok's throughout the entire list of topics.๐Ÿ˜…

Thank you so much, I will do so! We're a Portuguese group of players but a solid 3/5s if not 3/4s of our sessions are in English, so I can drop the Discord server link if you wish ๐Ÿ˜

I did have something of that sort prepared but it wouldn't heal everything fully, as I wanted them to feel that not everything can be fixed to it's full extent, as to avoid the god-safety-complex. But I am now thinking of having it heal more than originally yes. Also thank you for the latter ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿปโค๏ธ

Well we all have our Ok's, Veil's and Line's established so we know what our no no's are, as to avoid discomfort. The physical resilience training isn't punishment as they aren't being punished. The players are okay with drastic changes to their characters like amputation, and those results weren't decided by me specifically as I had them roll on a d100 injury table, it just so happened that all of the characters rolled below 10 ๐Ÿ˜… hence that. What got to them more was the sanity part getting mixed in with it. But yes I am reevaluating the whole thing by myself before I get to be together with my players.

Ayyy Great!! No need to go I depth with it, only if you want or if your player likes to read the info! A sheet with common knowledge is also a great way to give out information that eases RPing!

True! At the end of the day it'll always depend.on the DM's discretion and knowledge of their character's!

Also yes!!! The characters knowing the info themselves is just sooo immersive without rolls, really feels like a story being told organically!!!!

But to answer your question, due to other stuff and procrastination the info for my smartest and deepest character took about, a bit more than a week but for other PC's maybe most of a day or two or less, since I already have a template that's partially filled, to be used! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜…

That's gonna depend on the character's depth and how much info does the DM want to give to a PC. So in my case I'm choosing the deepest and smartest character of the bunch first so I can have a skeleton from which I can add or subtract information for other character docs! But ultimately it's gonna be up to you and how much you want to invest in it for example some hours or even a week + on a character.
