10/21 New Player Meet

*This post will be updated in the evening, after the session*

It’s Friday morning and I’ll be meeting a new player this evening!

What’s more, this player has little experience with tabletop gaming! Huzzah!

If there’s one thing I enjoy more than telling a story through an RPG, it’s teaching people how to play. I may be strict about adhering to the rulebooks (when it isn’t inconvenient and provides the information I need, otherwise I try my best to make a good judgement call), but I also get to see these players reflect on their choices and enjoy their independence with character creation.

I genuinely want players to enjoy my stories, but what’s more important is that they tell their stories within my campaign. If there’s something they’ve always wanted to read about but never find it on the bookshelves, they get their chance via a character sheet and a d20.

Let’s see what he comes up with.

Stay safe out there, readers!

*Update* We have a new character! I now have new homework!

His character design is intriguing, and it’ll take time in both the real world and the campaign to fully develop, but I’m excited to see how his story comes about. Plus, I get to make a new Character Archetype!
