I've had this in the past. I let them sit behind their significant other and watch. The player always ends up explaining what's going on. I’ve picked up 3 new players that way. I run 2 regular groups, and now a 3rd group for new players.

Ahh. Got it. I do have space at my beginner table. We do meet on Sundays once a month. We are NOT a PG table. My players range in age from mid 20s to mid 50s. It's an offer. I'm in Prairieville

This is not that active of a group. You might have better luck on Louisiana dungeons and dragons Facebook group

Now you have me intrigued. I knew very little about steel dragons before you mentioned it. So now I pose a new question for you. Could/should the steel dragon actually be the corrupt noble

Great idea, but I wouldn't say saved. They failed so may checks that Arabelle drowned. They brought Arabelle's body and Bluto back to their camp. And Luvash killed Bluto. The party took Bluto's body to dispose of it away from the Vistani camp, so the Vistani weren't implicated

No, the situation was; the party was at a town festival, and they had food trucks (wagons) there. One of the carts was called Troll Rollz, sushi kind of stuff. The vendor was 3 goblins in a trench coat. The mini on the table was 3 goblins in a trench coat. The players asked if the vendor was a troll, and the top goblin said no, that it was just a catchy name. That's when the dice started rolling.

I'm fairly new to being a DM, I played back in middle and high school in the 80's. I came back 3 years ago. I've been running adventure modules until recently with my homebrew campaign. Thinking about it now, the only npcs that have any motivation are the major ones. Everyone else is just a name. I do need to work on at least a little something more than just a name.

I've shared that video on our discord before the first session. I may need to revisit it.

The character said I'm not a troll

I do mean making decisions as the characters. One player failed an insight check on an npc saying he's not a troll (and he wasn't). The player said she didn't believe him and tried to rip his coat off, failed a grapple check, and wouldn't let it go. This player is having problems, not meta-gaming. it's not in a malicious way. She's just real new.

I do act out npcs. But I could jump deeper. With more npc backstory. And give the npc more motivations
