It takes work to curate your online spaces, but if you don't do it, corporations will do it for you using a couple harmful key principles. 1) Negative emotions hold your attention better than positive emotions. 2) Calm/contented people are less likely to spend money.
oh my other big dm tip is just. your campaign isn't about you and your cool plot. it's about your players and how to have fun as a group. if your plot doesn't incorporate your players and give them agency, it isn't an engaging plot.
my big player tip is: your dm is hosting a story for you. be willing to engage in it to the best of your ability.
it goes both ways. a dm should build their story to be told through the players and the players should be enthusiastic about engaging in that story.
i just simply think of a campaign's story can be told by replacing the entire party with different characters then it's probably not a great campaign. like yes modules exist and etc etc. but also modules work best when you CONNECT your character to the module's plot and your dm engages with it.
like. if you could put your character into any other game with no changes to their story or you could replace your entire party in the game your dming with other characters and everything would be the same then. that's not engaging. sorry.
may you find people who happily listen while you gush about your obscure interests. may you find people you feel comfortable and safe enough around to be your authentic self
Red~ hey, so I haven’t really posted on tumblr for a while. Life things happened and I sorta changed a bunch! I still enjoy the egos and obey me boys though, but also a couple new things. So I might be around sharing a few things here and there if anyones still around!
Here is a link to the US Restrict Act (commonly known as the TikTok ban) as it is currently written.
Please read the actual bill and share even if you do not live in the United States. The precedents this piece of legislation would set would have far reaching impacts on how the internet is used for everyone in the future.
