ttrpg player pro tip- just tell your GM when you have a plot in mind for your character. Ask for events to happen. Walk up and say "I want my evil brother to show up and be a huge fight and I try to save him from himself." Your GM will ADORE having a whole encounter outlined for her, you'll get to have an awesome scene play out, you'll be invested, your GM will be invested, it'll be memorable. Hopefully, just don't be foreceful.

The idea that you and your GM will be able to like, psychically intuit each other's ideas for character arcs is bullshit. This is a collaborative relationship; communicate!!

Also get comfortable undoing shit if you're the DM. If you made an off-hand comment that didn't fit the world you want to weave or if you realized an event would have long-term consequences you don't want. You can just pause and tell everyone "wait I changed my mind, forget I said that! it didn't happen." and go back to the previous scene.

Ultimately ttrpgs should be a fun play time; ask yourself if you're following invisible rules, and if those rules help or hinder your game experience.

cannot recommend more putting secrets and hints in your creative work that you dont expect anyone to figure out

act like youve got a ravenous fanbase of a million people poring over every detail, cuz then if nobody figures it out you feel cool n smug knowing something nobody else does, and if someone does figure it out then its like theyve joined a secret society

Canonically giving Essek Thelyss a little sleep mask is one of the funniest things Matt Mercer has ever done.

I think the cast loves Aeor for a huge number of reasons including that it's got something for everyone (lore! monsters! dungeon crawling! arcana! political intrigue!) and that it was pretty much the final fifth of Campaign 2 and an incredibly meaningful time for all their characters, but I think Matt loves Aeor because he can populate it with Toothy Maws in Circumstances.

Essek and the rest of Bells Hells: Okay, we're going to Eiselcross, an icy, glacially-locked wasteland. Everyone grab some stuff to dress accordingly.

I can't stop thinking about the developing dynamic between Essek and Fearne, especially since Fearne seems to have discovered a particular joy in needling him, possibly because a lot of his sarcasm has been aimed at her.

But then there was that little moment where Fearne said, "I thought you said don't touch anything" and Essek gave her that little smile and replied, "I'm not touching it, am I?", and I thought - oh. He's starting to like these little shits, especially the faun who won't stop giving him trouble. From Fearne's reaction to this - the mocking that turned into a grin, calling him cheeky - you can see her starting to understand Essek's particular brand of humor in return.

It would be so hilarious if Essek comes out of this adventure having been adopted by an entirely new adventuring party who have forced friendship on him. I can think of nothing I'd wish for him more than that.

A couple amazing additions to my post that I could not leave in the tags:

I want to see the vampire who lives in this. I bet his name is Chad or Hunter.

And he's ready to crack open a boy with the cold ones.

why are schoolchildren so much better at detecting autism in girls than legit doctors

after seeing a knowledgeable pediatrician ur whole life you’ll finally get evaluated as a teenager and they’ll be like “I am forced to concede...that you may have a slight case of the Ass Burgers”

when Melissa, Kelsey and Sophie from the third grade will look at you for .5 seconds, simultaneously be like “this other small girl has something wrong with her” and give you lifelong trauma without even referring you to a psychologist

do NOT make kabosu dying about elon musks shitty cryptocurrency. i genuinely believe that kabosus owner deserves financial compensation from the billionaire that stole her dogs poor face to use for his shitty fake money. “dogecoin dog died :(“ NO! the face of my earliest internet experiences died. Your shitty scam coins aren’t going anywhere asshole.

edit: musk did not literally invent dogecoin, but he does own it now. he’s owned it long enough that i had forgotten it wasn’t his original creation. my sentiment is the same, i still believe that he misused the face of a dog he didn’t even own.
