I just can't get excited about it I guess. I was totally going to try and get church's stupid ass involved with the cta until I saw that everyone except for charisma got to be doing really cool shit. cha just...like distract some well-meaning folks because idk they'll mess things up ssssomehow I'm unclear how, and evacuate people which has no complications
face a dragon and face a wacko full of magic and face wild time shit down in the caverns!!!! and also I guess put up some roadblocks and tell some people to fuck off
idk idk it's petty but it was just like YOU get cool shit to do YOU get cool shit to do YOU get cool shit to do YOU just idk exist somewhere and not matter a whole lot. which sure was my experience doing anything of value in the actual mission post, too /lays down
I guess just my first outing with the d&d part of it went less than swimmingly and I just feel so left behind for being a total newbie in a game that's about to wrap up here soon I guess?
yeah I mean like. I don't dislike the game or anything, and given that it's d&d it's going to be A Lot Of Info, too, and it favors people and plotlines that have been going that it feels hard for someone newer to get involved in a meaningful way but I'm enjoying the game
I get CTAs aren't usually like this, too, and also it's a lot of shit to juggle, a lot of ideas and characters and, in this case in particular, Big Shit to juggle
I know personally I've always had the adhd issue in any tabletop game where even if something's interesting, my brain goes birds rights activist and goes But It Not About Me and stops paying attention, and I am interested in the idea of magic in a magical world ceasing to exist (and what the backup plan is)
the odds were super stacked against us and for getting into endgame I don't at all mind that, failure is always an option and it's a mark of a good DM who can turn failures into interesting shit (please if you enjoy star wars play the fantasy flight games where turning bum rolls into storytelling or cool opportunities is a big deal)
like I said it's petty it was just 'dex does Important Shit, str does Important Shit, Int, Wis, y'all do Important Shit, cha just kinda go exist somewhere' and I knew that because of being new and my class I wasn't going to have anything to bring to any of these tables. and idk I guess I also regret not punching the mirror first thing lol
I'm WAY TOO TIRED to write anything up for it but tomorrow if work doesn't kill me I'll probably have church try to throw a 'hooray the mission was a success' party and not get why everyone's so bummed
sure getting stuck in time sucked and sure some people like him can't throw magic around but hey, the time thingy was destroyed, the bad guy was stopped, and the dragon didn't destroy the town!
Each group needs at least one character with the required archetype, so keep that in mind when signing up.
