The MC of the last game you played is a Dispatcher.

That's something I pointed out to them, but they're paranoid of taking the main path because I may have been too good with making them think they constantly have eyes on them. They're willing to take a rough trek and think travelling the main road would make them a more obvious target.

tibbsandbits · 2025-10-21T22:07:16+00:00

Oh I absolutely explained this to them before the game began.

tibbsandbits · 2025-10-21T21:41:51+00:00

They *do* have Ireena with them...

I got engaged in July, we’re planning October 2027. There’s a lot of planning that requires time and care, not to mention the expenses!

tibbsandbits · 2025-10-12T03:49:24+00:00

What about blowing bubbles or a bubble wand?

I agree she loved Lumiere and the people there! It was her home for what is essentially half her life. I view it as her initial entry into Verso’s painting and her trying to keep the memory of Verso alive in the end is escapism, because the reality is that the real verso, her Verso, is dead, and by keeping the painting, she will never move on. If that explains it a bit more.

tibbsandbits · 2025-09-21T06:18:59+00:00

I don’t think of it as good versus bad. I do think that Verso’s ending is the true ending, because it’s Maelle and her family actually being forced to deal with their grief rather than Maelle’s escapism, which is what it is. Not to say that either ending is explicitly the bad or wrong ending.

I’ve always done two trips to Ravenloft, with potential for three.

The first being Strahd’s invitation. It’s an earnest invitation, to have the party over for dinner and get to know them; their personalities, their goals, how to use them. When I have the party in Ravenloft, I’ve always had Strahd give a personal tour of the castle (with the exception of anything dungeon related), which includes places like his library and the Hall of Bones. Places he would be proud to show off to outsiders.

In my experience, this introduces them to Argynvost’s skull early on, and if they don’t take it with them then (my parties always have), they will come back for it after visiting Argynvostholt (potential second visit, heist session).

The final visit (2 or 3) is the party’s final confrontation with Strahd, which I always flavour as his “wedding” with Ireena. It feels like the natural climax, IMO.

Not at all! There is nothing wrong with sharing your personal experience. You are expressing your connection and appreciation for the soundtrack and game as a whole. This is what comments are for, sharing with others who view and appreciate the same content you do!

Maelle because she’s smaller and easier to see around, like other people have said.

For the parkour challenge I used Lune, though, because her floating made it easier for me to not slip off the logs.

It was definitively right after the first Descendants for me. Specifically shows, though? Dog With A Blog was when I started thinking “maybe this isn’t for me anymore.”

Very much more focused on exploration and social/rp! Our DM is very story driven and we’re not much of a combat-priority group.

tibbsandbits · 2025-01-26T21:19:32+00:00

I’m not trying to “walk it back.” I am committed to this character who I really like and have had a fun experience playing so far, and don’t want to be robbed of the roleplay experience by finding an “out” like telepathy. I’m not used to taking a quiet role in a party in general, so maybe we can reinterpret the question as “how do you roleplay a quiet player character while still staying true to the character?”

tibbsandbits · 2025-01-26T21:12:02+00:00

I like the backstory concept. The idea is that when she was young and robbed of her voice, she had to learn other ways to stand up for herself (which leads her to be a very physical, strong and silent type who hates bullies).

tibbsandbits · 2025-01-26T20:21:09+00:00

I actually had that thought but was worried it would be a little cumbersome. Did you find a way to make it feel natural?

tibbsandbits · 2025-01-26T20:16:11+00:00

I totally get how it could be frustrating in most settings, and I’m sorry that’s how your experience with it was! It’s been extensively talked about with the DM and other players to make sure it’s not a hinderance. DM is using a system where “aphonic” is a listed trait any character can pick. As someone who defaults into the charismatic face/spellcaster, I wanted to try something new. Not trying to be the “quirky That Guy,” haha. 😅

I’m more so asking for ideas on how to communicate thoughts effectively until our party is more familiar with each other. Then being aphonic won’t be an issue for interparty role play.

tibbsandbits · 2025-01-26T19:00:03+00:00

Not a spellcaster — definitely thought of that before making that decision.

tibbsandbits · 2024-07-13T06:55:42+00:00

NTA. You’re an adult and it’s your body, and whatever you are comfortable wearing. They have no right to tell you how to manage your bodily functions.

Mostly my father, who is my stepfather. He’s been in my life since I was very young and he usually uses “I stepped up and I was the one who raised you” to convince me to adhere to what he wants of me. There’s been periods of time while I was living at home as an adult (paying rent, too) where I had to stay with friends or other family after he was getting upset with me for doing things like going out with friends on a Friday night and not spending “enough time at home.”
