All updated. Forgot about that stuff.

Alright you need a Wooden Greathammer, dump your charisma, and play it up as Lawful Evil.

No fucking way this was FATAL.

This has all the marks of free form to me, with a bit of rules as a framework, but if not, it could have been Exalted.

Easily one of my favorite tabletop stories of all time. I only wish I knew if this was a system or some kind of homebrew thing created by the DM.

Akitas were companions for Japanese nobility so they hunted, guarded, and loved on their masters very devoted, and I specifically had an American Akita, who are cross-bred with German Shepards. They’re extremely intelligent, and will chase anything they see, not so much smell, but oftentimes absolutely.

Damn right.

Oh absolutely, but like, the guy who brags about his villainy ain’t exactly complex, but I like it like that sometimes.

This is also important; sometimes not everyone wants to be a face.

Everything is a Jojo reference.

Just like everything is secretly a 40k reference.

Zealot Barbarians are objectively one of the most fun to play.

One of my favorite characters, of all time, was an Aasimar Path of the Zealot Barbarian.

The twist being she wasn’t half-celestial half-human or anything, but half-Orc, and her father was Tempus. One of her character goals was to get the Orcish people to reject Gruumsh and follow a real war god.

I think there’s also only so much you can do if people just won’t engage.

Mayhaps I shall!

Hail Chaos!

Shhhhhhh

I will literally let my table sit in silence before butting in.

Like, I’ve trained myself to hold back so much I struggle to get a word in edgewise in more proactive groups.

The problem is definitely they’re introverts, but I can’t force them to talk.

No table should have a main character, but having standout characters is pretty common.

Sounds like my Akita

Of course there’s ways to be better, but getting mad at the active player kinda justifies them calling them out.

I’m a very social player and even I can feel like I’m talked over sometimes in a very engage RP-heavy group, just because I’ve trained myself not to interrupt people.

I like a bit of 50/50 as a DM, and my players adore what I do sometimes.
