#.txt#idk i feel it Generally takes a lot of collab and 'metagaming' to figure things out#maybe ive been playing com for too long but ! idk#i dont always like dnd. i dont wanna roll an insight check on someone to figure out their intentions.#i wanna trust npcs bc they are (or should be) people. with motivations.#best example actually came from my gm explaining stuff ooc#(which happens at the end of every 'arc' or when it isnt plot relevant (#and we found out my FAVORITE npc ks a thief and basically used us all#like she still thinks of us as friends but friends do not come before money for her#i was also told and idk if i even shared this in my group chat bur#but* ๐Ÿ˜‘#if she hadnt been hospitalized while i was an avatar it would have been bad bc she can#basically One Time steal smth she deems interesting enough which!#would have been my powers if she had seen me#i still love her dearly btw#com blogging#i lost the plot. anyway even tho she was selfish i liked and trusted her and didn't need a definabi#metric of how much my character trusted her or believed her to make anything any more fun#and esp w npcs (or even puzzles but thats another post) belittling ur players for not seeing#bad signs in them is shitty. like. if u arent giving the npcs plausible deniability its no fun#i hate being overly suspicious of Every Little Thing and i think dnd perpetuates that a whole lot. makes it less organic#[checking for traps every five seconds] like it works but at what cost. it feels like an obligation. as do a lot of dnd mechanics#its why I've stopped joining games without asking how they approach 'evil' races. im not fighting goblins for the sake of it.#I've typed so much i could go on but i must b reaching tag limit if i haven't already
