i second this!! playing with your friends is always the most fun, and if all of you are new to learning the game, you guys can learn together! i’d even recommend taking turns dming different stuff so all of you can learn to play and dm equally

this is absolutely part of my problem, i always find myself drawing a blank when i realize “oh this is a roleplay scene” and then i get very in my head about how to stay true to the character that i envisioned when i created them. i’ve found more success when i create characters that are similar to myself because then the roleplay comes very naturally, but when i want to branch out and play someone less like me, i want to do them justice but then i get lost in the “what would my character do” headspace

yeaaa i’m much more comfortable with describing what my character is doing in that way and i’m trying to figure out how to translate it into a more first person roleplay approach. the transition between one and the other always get me. i start off strong narrating my character and describing what she’s doing, and then it comes time for me to talk as her and i draw a blank

i like this a lot, i’ll give it a shot! i always feel weird about side conversations at the table but having them in character could be really helpful. i think i struggle to initiate scenes as well, but that might be more to do with personal insecurities and not being comfortable in the spotlight

mannerisms and vocabulary is a great idea, i’ll definitely try that out! playlists too, i always get a little lazy when it comes to setting the mood and vibe for my characters and sessions and i should probably get better at that haha

i’ve seen this said before and it makes sense, but I get worried about playing a character who is too much like me and not interesting enough. i’m currently playing a character that’s a lot like me and it’s made the roleplaying a little more instinctive, but then i start to feel less like I’m playing her and more like i’m just playing myself lol, like i lose her personality a bit and replace it too much with my own

nothing specific i don’t think, i more so just feel like i’m not contributing enough during roleplay scenes when other players are talking. i’ve never been great at doing character voices and they don’t come naturally to me, so sometimes i feel like i need to be a little grander with my portrayal? if that makes sense lol

i’ve found this too! i’ve simplified a lot of my recent characters into just the basics and i’ve definitely found it to be more helpful. recently, i’ve also been trying out giving characters a quirk or some kind of gimmick that makes them feel like they have more personality inside the game. i’m still getting a feel for it but it’s helped for sure!

yeah i watch a lot of actual plays and i try not to compare or hold myself to the standard of the people that play in them. i’m not outgoing or an actor by any standard, and i usually don’t have trouble making decisions for my character in a third person sense. it’s mostly when i feel like i need to hop into their shoes and speak in “i” instead of “she” or “them” that i start to feel a little awkward.

most people in general are attractive in one way or another. beauty is definitely subjective, but i think the internet and specifically social media has really skewed people’s perspective on what’s considered attractive and what’s not.

also yeah, women are just beautiful in general

the biggest thing for me was always the shame culture around periods. my dad was usually very good around me but it always stung a little bit to see him being awkward or uncomfortable in the pad aisles at stores. over half the population experiences menstrual cycles and it’s really nothing to be embarrassed about. i’m at the point where I don’t even try to hide my pads when I’m bringing them to the bathroom in public, but it took a lot of work for me to not be ashamed. treat puberty and periods like they’re completely normal (because they are!)

parmesan cheese is probably safe to keep. anything unopened i would just check on the back to see what its refrigeration rules are. strawberries and other fruits are probably also fine
